Description Ivan Necas 2015-01-08 03:39:29 EST
The smart-proxy-abrt (and possibly other plugins, like openscap) needs to send HTTP requests to Foreman, and for that it needs to be SSL-authenticated. However the cert+key in /etc/foreman-proxy/ssl_{cert,key}.pem cannot be used because it is designated as a server certificate and Apache rejects it when it is used for client authentication.

We can reuse the cert+key pair in /etc/puppet, however smart-proxy currently does not have the permissions to access the private key.

1) Can you copy /etc/puppet/{client_cert,client_key,ssl_ca.pem} to /etc/foreman-proxy with permissions so that smart-proxy can read them? (On my system /etc/puppet/ssl_ca.pem is the same as /etc/foreman-proxy/ssl_ca.pem so no need to have it twice if it's always the case)

2) Can you then assign the paths to the files to @foreman_ssl_cert@, @foreman_ssl_key@, and @foreman_ssl_ca@ in /etc/foreman-proxy/settings.yml?

Created from redmine issue http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/8372
Comment 2 Ivan Necas 2015-01-08 03:40:24 EST
Setting as blocker since abrt and openscap integration depends on that

Fixes that generate and deploy a cert for smart proxy to use to call to the foreman are here:

https://github.com/theforeman/puppet-foreman_proxy/pull/130
https://github.com/Katello/puppet-certs/issues/41

I've tested the changes on single-host Katello installation and the ABRT plugin now works out-of-the-box (with the exception of #7833 which has to be done manually).
Comment 12 Kedar Bidarkar 2015-07-24 11:53:08 EDT
Tested generating openscap reports on clients and uploading it using custom-certs on both "Internal capsule" and "external capsule".

VERIFIED with sat6.1.1-GA-snap13-c1
