Description Scott Poore 2014-12-11 11:50:20 EST
Description of problem:

Testing IPA CA Certificate autorenewal I am seeing certificate autorenewal fail because it's trying to renew everything at the same time.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ipa-server-4.1.0-12.el7.x86_64
certmonger-0.75.14-2.el7.x86_64
pki-ca-10.1.2-5.el7.noarch


How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:

1.  Setup IPA server

ipa-server-install --setup-dns --forwarder=<IP> -r <REALM> -a <PASSWORD> -p <PASSWORD> -U

2.  Walk the time forward till you reach the CA Certificate renewal threshold.

getcert list | egrep "status|expires|Request|subject|ca-error"
date -u <soonest expiration date - 4 weeks>
# check with getcert until everything back in monitoring then repeat

3.  When you reach time for CA expire, all certs should show same expiration equal to that of CA certificate's.  

4.  Change time to within 4 weeks of expiration.


Actual results:

[root@vm1 ~]# date -u; getcert list | egrep "status|expires|Request|subject|ca-error"

Expected results:

CA Certificate renews first, then others in proper order to prevent CA_UNREACHABLE due to conflicts with renewing some at the same time.

Additional info:
I'll also attach the PKI debug log.

Unfortunately I had truncated the previous test run debug log.  Here's a second run though.

Version ::

ipa-server-4.1.0-15.el7.x86_64

Results ::

I setup a self-signed install and walked the time forward incrementally until I reached the CA cert expiration threshold.  

 Starting expirations:

After walking time forward, I stopped right before the last step forward in time to capture a stable state:

[root@vm1 ~]# g

And here I can see it attempts to autorenew everything simultaneously:

Then wait for a while and check back to see that the CA has renewed and everything is back in MONITORING and nothing fell to CA_UNREACHABLE:
