Description Patrik Kis 2014-04-30 08:57:17 UTC
Description of problem:
Openswan created a clean NSS database at the first ipsec daemon start, but the database can not be used, and it needs to be recreated by certutil. This should be working out of the box.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
openswan-2.6.32-27.3.el6_5

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:

[root@rhel6 ~]# rpm -q openswan
openswan-2.6.32-27.3.el6_5.x86_64
[root@rhel6 ~]# 
[root@rhel6 ~]# ls -la /etc/ipsec.d/
total 12

[root@rhel6 ~]# service ipsec start

Actual results:
New keys can not be created.

Expected results:
New keys should be created.

Comment 2 Paul Wouters 2014-04-30 14:53:11 UTC
Ok, the following snippet of code should be added to the spec file in the %post section:

if [ ! -f %{_sysconfdir}/ipsec.d/cert8.db ] ; then
    TEMPFILE=$(/bin/mktemp %{_sysconfdir}/ipsec.d/nsspw.XXXXXXX)
    [ $? -gt 0 ] && TEMPFILE=%{_sysconfdir}/ipsec.d/nsspw.$$
    echo > ${TEMPFILE}
    certutil -N -f ${TEMPFILE} -d %{_sysconfdir}/ipsec.d
    restorecon %{_sysconfdir}/ipsec.d/*db 2>/dev/null || :
    rm -f ${TEMPFILE}
fi

Comment 6 Jaroslav Aster 2014-07-24 10:16:48 UTC
I can confirm it. Problem is that bug was fixed in spec file only, so after install openswan, db files are ok, but if you remove db files and openswan is restarted, broken files are created.

Comment 7 Paul Wouters 2014-07-31 00:33:46 UTC
this is now fixed within the _plutorun script with the new "ipsec --checknss" option.
