Doc Text:	The client-cert-request utility no longer fails to create CSRs for ECC certificates Previously, the generatePkcs10Request method in the Certificate System's client-cert-request utility failed to map the curve and length parameters. Consequently, the utility failed to create certificate signing requests (CSR) for Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) certificates. The problem has been fixed. As a result, using client-cert-request for creating CSRs for ECC certificates works as expected.	Story Points:	---

Description Amol K 2018-02-27 14:24:02 UTC

Description of problem:

pki client-cert-request is not able to generate ECC certificate request.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
10.5.1-9.el7

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. pki -d /opt/pki/certdb/ -c SECret.123 -p 20080 -v client-cert-request --algorithm ecc --curve nistp256  "UID=ecc_user3,CN=ECC User3" 


Actual results:
Server URI: http://pki1.example.com:20080
Client security database: /opt/pki/certdb
Message format: null
Command: client-cert-request --algorithm ecc --curve nistp256 "UID=ecc_user3,CN=ECC User3"
Module: client
Module: cert-request
External command: /usr/bin/PKCS10Client -d /opt/pki/certdb -p SECret.123 -a ecc -l 1024 -o /opt/pki/certdb/pki-client-cert-request-6623069256481018602.csr -n "UID=ecc_user3,CN=ECC User3"

Comment 11 Amol K 2018-08-13 11:50:49 UTC

I tested this BZ on 10.5.9-5.el7 version.

I'm able to submit the certificate request with algo 'ec' and curve nistp256.
```
 pki -d /opt/pki/certdb/ -c SECret.123 -p 20080 -v client-cert-request --algorithm ec --curve nistp256  "UID=ecc_user3,CN=ECC User3"

  Operation Result: success
