Re: [Pki-users] CA Administrator of Instance pki-ca

Hi Andrew, Thanks again for getting back to me. Unfortunately, I didn't get very far. I've shown below what I have done and what it resulted in: o) Go to the <server>:9443/ca/agent/ca URL and list the certificates stored in Dogtag. o) Make a note of of the Certificate Serial Numbers of the following certificates and change the hex value into decimal: CN=OCSP Signing Certificate E.G. 2 CN=<primary server> E.G. 3 CN=CA Subsystem Certificate E.G. 4 CN=CA Audit Signing Certificate E.G. 5 CN=<secondary server> E.G. 268369921 o) Go to the <server>:9444/ca/ee/ca URL o) Click on "Renewal: Renew certificate to be manually approved by agents" o) Submit each of the Certificate Serial Numbers noted above and make a note of the request ID For each Certificate Serial Number listed above that I submit, I get the following: Sorry, your request is not submitted. The reason is "Profile caServerCert Not Found". Please could you help me further. Many thanks. Richard.

Below is what I did, with some of my comments inline. Before I get to that though, there are some other certificates that are due to run out soon, but I think they should be easier to renew. The Common Name of those other certificates are: o) CN=OCSP Signing Certificate o) CN=<servername> o) CN=CA Subsystem Certificate o) CN=CA Audit Signing Certificate As I noticed below, that your server provides option to "Renew certificate to be manually approved by agents". You should used this option for all your renewals. Then start pkiconsole go to "System Keys and Certificates", select "Local Certificates", click on "Add/Renew", "Next" and "Install a certificate" Please could you help me and let me know what steps I should take for renewing these too. Thank you. Anyway, back to what I did to get the admin certificate updated. Your steps are still numbered, the ones that I did around them are identified with o) Here goes: o) Edit /var/lib/pki-ca/profiles/ca/caUserCert.cfg Change: visible=false enable=false To: visible=true enable=true o) Restart service "pki-cad" 1. Go to EE interface (typically https://<hostname>:9444/ca/ee/ca/) and select "Manual User Dual-Use Certificate Enrollment" 2. Fill out the form and submit request 3. Go to Agent interface (typically https://<hostname>:9443/ca/agent/ca/) and approve submitted request 4. Return to EE interface, select "Retrieval" tab and "Check Request Status". 5. Type in request number and press submit. 6. Click on issued certificate serial number. 7. Go to the end of page displaying certificate and press "Import Your Certificate" This probably means that browser which generated certificate request (and the key) is not the same browser used to import certificate. o) Go to the <server>:9444/ca/ee/ca URL o) Click on "Renewal: Renew certificate to be manually approved by agents" (make a note of the number) o) Go to the <server>:9443/ca/agent/ca URL to approve my request. (Use the number above) o) Go to the <server>:9444/ca/ee/ca URL to retrieve the certificate. (Use the number above) and click on the Issued certificate o) Extract the Base 64 encoded part of the certificate and save as <new certificate name>.pem o) Transfer <old certificate bundle name>.p12 and <new certificate name>.pem to a machine with openssl installed on it o) On a machine with openssl installed on it, submit following command: $openssl pkcs12 -in <old certificate bundle name>.p12 -out <old certificate bundle name>.pem -nodes o) Copy <old certificate bundle name>.pem to <new certificate bundle name>.pem o) Update <new certificate bundle name>.pem by replacing the relevant part of it with the contents of <new certificate name>.pem o) Cut the key part of <new certificate bundle name>.pem and create <certificate name>.key from it o) Submit following command: $openssl pkcs12 -export -in <new certificate bundle name>.pem -inkey <certificate name>.key -out <new certificate bundle name>.p12 o) Transfer <new certificate bundle name>.p12 to the machine with the web browser that you want to access Dog Tag from. o) Import <new certificate bundle name>.p12 into the machine. 8. Start pkiconsole (typically by running "pkiconsole https://`hostname`:9445/ca") 9. Select "Users and Groups" and select your admin entry. 10. Press "Certificates" button then "Import" and paste in the contents of <new certificate name>.pem, then OK and "Done" 11. Clear SSL cache in the browser or restart your browser. 12.

The first thing I'd like to point out is that I'm using the pre-Red Hat enterprise variant of DogTag (dogtag-pki-1.3.0-2.el5) I have been trying to adapt the instructions as best I can and have so nearly got there, but not quite.. I have been referring to chapter 4.8.2 of that article by going to the <server>:9444/ca/ee/ca URL and the only 2 Certificate Profiles I have to choose from are: o) Renewal: Renew certificate to be manually approved by agents o) Cisco VPN Client Enrolment The second option is for end users of our Cisco VPN to generate new certificates with, so I don't do anything with that. The first option looked promising, as it asked for a certificate number, so I used the <server>:9443/ca/agent/ca URL to find the certificate number of the current "CA Administrator of Instance pki-ca" certificate, make a note of it and enter it into the certificate renewal page. I then use the <server>:9443/ca/agent/ca URL to approve my request. Back to the <server>:9444/ca/ee/ca URL to retrieve the certificate. I then updated the .p12 (.pfx) certificate with the one that appeared from the step above, with quite a bit of open_ssl commands, but I am confident that my new .p12 has everything in it as before (including the private key), with the exception of the "CA Administrator of Instance pki-ca" certificate being my updated one instead of the current one. I manage to import it into by machine's browser and when I navigate to <server>:9443/ca/agent/ca, the new certificate comes up as an option to present to Dog Tag, so things are looking good at this stage and I select it. After that is where the first thing looks different, but I wasn't too worried about. I get a message saying "Request For Permission to Use a Key", so I grant permission. Then things don't look go at all, as once I'm past that, all the pages say "Invalid Credential". I have probably gone about things in a way that's more complicated than it should be and I guess it's because I'm using an earlier version of Dog Tag. Do you have any ideas where I have gone wrong with this please. Thank you very much. Richard. Unfortunately your version is old enough to miss new renewal profiles, which would make your task easier. Here is a simple way to renew your CA administrator certificate: 1. Go to EE interface (typically https://<hostname>:9444/ca/ee/ca/) and select "Manual User Dual-Use Certificate Enrollment" 2. Fill out the form and submit request 3. Go to Agent interface (typically https://<hostname>:9443/ca/agent/ca/) and approve submitted request 4. Return to EE interface, select "Retrieval" tab and "Check Request Status". 5. Type in request number and press submit. 6. Click on issued certificate serial number. 7. Go to the end of page displaying certificate and press "Import Your Certificate" 8. Start pkiconsole (typically by running "pkiconsole https://`hostname`:9445/ca") 9. Select "Users and Groups" and select your admin entry. 10. Press "Certificates" button then "Import" and paste in your new base64 encoded certificate, then OK and "Done" 11. Clear SSL cache in the browser or restart your browser. 12.
