Description Thorsten Scherf 2020-05-28 09:01:31 UTC

This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://pagure.io/certmonger/issue/53

EST is the successor to SCEP.

A library which implements the EST protocol can be found at https://github.com/cisco/libest

Comment 8 Rob Crittenden 2022-04-11 21:28:58 UTC

Note that this RFE is to add support for EST to certmonger only, which acts as a client. If server support is needed then see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1849834

The libest upstream has not been very active in the past few years. There have been a few merges in 2020 and 2021. Prior to that was 2017. There are currently open 17 pull requests. Of the open issues several are key items like support for OpenSSL 3.0.0.

It currently requires libsafec which does not currently ship in RHEL. The requirement for libsafec can be disabled but is not recommended by upstream (e.g. not supported).

A more current and much smaller implementation which claims to be fully RFC-compliant is https://github.com/danharkins/est
 
A less compliant python version, and also not maintained, is https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1849834

The required EST client features would be helpful to determine a possible route forward. Which authentication mechanism(s), server-side key generation, data encapsulation requirements (CMC), etc.
