Hi -
My question is a follow-on to the CMC enrollment thread from April 28.
The earlier thread says CMC requests have to be inputted through the
web based "certificate enrollment profiles" by filling in a form field
with the request data.
I noticed the Dogtag CA has servlets running at:
/ee/ca/profileSubmitCMCFull
/ee/ca/profileSubmitCMCSimple
/ee/ca/CMCRevReq
Is it possible for a client to send requests directly to those
servlets instead of going through the web form -- and is there a way
for the client to receive the CMC Response from the server as
described in the RFC, rather than just the text message / base64
certificate returned by the web form after it is submitted?
You don' t have to
use a web form. Here is an example of how to use
sslget to submit a request:
https://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/cert-system/tools/7.2/SSLGet-Usage.html
While the example on the page is not the same servlet and request type,
I imagine it's similar. Response can be xmloutput instead of a web
form, as you can see in the example. Just make sure you tweak the
enrollment profile "output" and "input" to fit your needs.
You can learn about how to tweak/customize your profiles here:
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/cert-system/7.3/html/Administration_Gu...
Also, do CMC requests always have to be signed by an authorized agent,
or has there been any thought to allowing clients to rekey their own
certificates directly with the CA? (e.g. authenticate a new
certificate request using the old certificate with the same subject)
authentication
and authorization can also be customized. You can
eliminate the authz all together if that's what you wish. You can also
write your own authorization or authentication plugins. You can copy
one from existing plugins and work from there too. All the existing
authentication plugins are in
pki/base/common/src/com/netscape/cms/authentication and all the
authorization plugins are in
/home/cfu/dogtag/src4/pki/base/common/src/com/netscape/cms/authorization.
You can customize the enrollment servlets too.
Finally, if you feel that your plugins could be contributed bacl to
Dogtag, we welcome you to submit it for review!
Thanks!

Has interoperability been tested with any tools besides the ones
described here
http://pki.fedoraproject.org/wiki/PKI_Java_Tools
(CMCEnroll/CMCRequest/etc.)? Do any other CMC clients actually exist?
Thanks,
Mike Peck
