Hello All,
When I install the Dogtag Certificate System, the installation creates default PKI
Administrator user (caadmin).
What is the procedure to setup additional PKI Administrator users so that they can also
access agent interface?
Thanks,
Mahendra

Dear Mahendra,
You can get it done through the pkiconsole.
first create a new user via the web interface.
Then open the pkiconsole, go to users and groups and add a new user for the
system. Set the required attributes and add that user to the "Certificate
Manager Agents" group. use the certificate of the new user created via the
web interface.
hope this will help

Hi Nalinda,
Thanks for the quick response.
How do I create a new user via the web interface?
Do you mean submit a 'Manual User Dual-Use Certificate Enrollment’ request via end
user interface and once the request is approved, use that certificate when creating user
via PKIConsole?
Thanks,
Mahendra

Hi Nalinda,
I requested the certificate using 'Manual User Dual-Use Certificate Enrollment’
option.
However, when I tried to import the generated certificate into Firefox browser, I get
following error:
'This personal certificate can't be installed because you don't own the
corresponding private key which was created when the certificate was requested.'
To work around this, I manually created private key and CSR on the client machine using
following steps:
1. Generate a new private key and Certificate Signing Request:
$ openssl req -out operator.csr -new -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout operator.key
2. Submit a CSR using ‘Manual Administrator Certificate Enrollment’ option via end user
interface
(Note: Ensure that the Subject Name field is populated with the exact value as it appears
in the Subject attribute of CSR)
3. Create a pkcs#12 file once the above CSR is approved:
$ openssl pkcs12 -export -out operator.p12 -inkey operator.key -in operator.cert -certfile
ca.cert
4. Using PKIConsole, create a new user, add that user to the "Certificate Manager
Agents” group and associate the certificate (operator.cert) obtained in the step#3 above
5. Launch Firefox browser and import pkcs#12 file (operator.p12) under 'Your
Certificates’ section
With these steps, I can now successfully access agent interface.
So, I would like to know when and how 'Manual User Dual-Use Certificate Enrollment’
option is useful in overall solution.
Thanks,
Mahendra

If you are on latest dogtag (fedora 20), you could pki user
cli to create user and add him to Certificate Manager Agents Group .
Also use a user profile to generate cert for the new user and add the cert using pki user
cli . Import the cert to browser (including keys).
You could do the same using pkiconsole too.

Thanks Niranjan,
I submitted 'Manual User Dual-Use Certificate Enrollment¹ via End User
interface and got it approved via agent interface and imported it to
browser including the keys.
My confusion is where the keys (private key) came from? Was it
automatically generated when I submitted the Certificate Enrollment
request via browser? Or was it created by the Dogtag server and delivered
it to browser when I imported the cert?
Thanks in advance.

To my understanding the current UI relies on a Firefox feature to
generate a private key in the browser. However, this feature is going
away in future Firefox, so Dogtag is now providing a way to generate a
private key using the CLI:
http://pki.fedoraproject.org/wiki/User_Certificate
The private key later can be imported into Firefox.
If you want to use a non-root Linux user as CA admin with a new
certificate, follow the above page to generate the certificate, then add
the user into the admin group.
If you want to use a non-root Linux user as CA admin with existing CA
admin certificate, follow this instruction:
http://pki.fedoraproject.org/wiki/CA_Admin_Setup
