Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
IdM now supports sub-CAs
Previously, Identity Management (IdM) only supported one certificate authority (CA) that was used to sign all certificates issued within the IdM domain. Now, you can use lightweight sub-CAs for better control over the purpose for which a certificate can be used. For example, a Virtual Private Network (VPN) server can be configured to only accept certificates issued by a sub-CA created for that purpose, rejecting certificates issued by other sub-CAs, such as a smart card CA.
To support this functionality, you can now specify an IdM lightweight sub-CA when requesting a certificate with certmonger.
For details, see https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html-single/Linux_Domain_Identity_Authentication_and_Policy_Guide/index.html#lightweight-sub-cas
This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/4559
In RHEL 7.1, all certificates issued by IPA are interchangeably reusable in different environments, i.e. a certificate issued for mobile device can be used for VPN and vice versa.
To scope certificates to a specific use without requiring additional access control knobs on behalf of the application that uses the certs, the profiles can be associated with a subCA.
It should be possible to associate different profiles with different CAs so it should be a many to may relationship.
The core of the feature is finished. Moving to modified.
There might be regression or minor parts missing. They should be tracked in separate bugzillas.
