Doc Text:	A previous version of Certificate System added a feature to enforce TLS client authentication when authenticating through CMCAuth. However, certain older applications do not support TLS client authentication and failed to connect to Certificate System. This update adds the bypassClientAuth configuration parameter to the /var/lib/pki/pki-instance_name/ca/conf/CS.cfg file. As a result, administrators can now set this parameter to "true" to disable client authentication if not supported by certain applications.	Story Points:	---

    Bug1628410 CMC: add config to allow non-clientAuth
    
    This patch adds a new parameter, cmc.bypassClientAuth, in the CS.cfg
    to allow agents to bypass clientAuth requirement in CMCAuth.
    Default value for cmc.bypassClientAuth is false.
    
    In addition, CMC enrollment profile caCMCUserCert "visible" value is
    set to false.

Comment 3 Christina Fu 2018-09-26 18:08:01 UTC

test procedure:
First make sure the original clientAuth requirement is not broken:
Perform any CMCAuth enrollment as instructed in any previous test cases and make sure clientAuth is still required and matches the signer of the cmc request.

Next, test bypassing clientAuth (as requested by the customer).
set the following to true in CA's CS.cfg:
cmc.bypassClientAuth=true
Restart the CA.
Perform the same test again, but this time set clientmode=false in HttpClient.
Make sure it works.
