One big difference in starting PKI under nuxwdog control is that pki-tomcatd@pki-tomcat.service starts PKI as pkiuser:pkiuser but pki-tomcatd-nuxwdog@pki-tomcat.service starts PKI as root:root. Running PKI as root user is bad idea.

To begin with I have updated to version 10.2.6 from F22 testing to get pki-server man pages.

Enabling nuxwdog solves the problem. Thank you!

Aleksey,

password prompting in CS 8.1 worked because of a utility program called nuxwdog which would prompt for passwords.

We have done some work to get nuxwdog working with the latest Dogtag code, but there is some setup required.
Fortunately, all that setup has been encapsulated in the pki-server utility.

For details, man pki-server , man pki-server-instance and man pki-server-nuxwdog.

The specific command would be:
pki-server instance-nuxwdog-enable <instance_id ie. pki-tomcat>

You should then be prompted for the passwords, and can remove your password.conf file.

I'm looking at removing at least nss password but both nss and 389 passwords will be better.

Actually PKI prompts for password but I don't see the prompt because of systemd.

To reproduce

systemctl stop pki-tomcatd@pki-tomcat.service
sed -i.bak '/internal=/d' /etc/pki/pki-tomcat/password.conf
systemctl start pki-tomcatd@pki-tomcat.service

Aleksey,

Did removing the password from the file not cause the system to prompt you for the password at startup. Also, are you looking at doing both nss and 389 passwords?

Hi,

The password.conf file stores system passwords in plaintext, and I prefer to enter system passwords manually and to remove the password file.

I have found original documentation https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Certificate_System/8.1/html/Admin_Guide/System_Passwords.html. But it is for older version on PKI and does not work with systemd.

How to setup PKI CA to ask for NSS DB password at startup?

Packages versions (I have rebuilt F22 packages for CentOS 7):
# rpm -qa | grep pki
pki-base-10.2.5-1.el7.centos.noarch
pki-server-10.2.5-1.el7.centos.noarch
dogtag-pki-server-theme-10.2.5-1.el7.centos.noarch
pki-ca-10.2.5-1.el7.centos.noarch
pki-tools-10.2.5-1.el7.centos.x86_64
dogtag-pki-console-theme-10.2.5-1.el7.centos.noarch
