Description Kaleem 2015-07-20 18:32:52 UTC 
Description of problem:

While working on scep support in certmonger, i found that when i tried to add CA cert with -R option with adding scep server url with -u option, helper does not parses -R option correctly and causing failure.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
[root@tigger ~]# rpm -q certmonger
certmonger-0.78.1-1.el7.x86_64
[root@tigger ~]# 

How reproducible:
Always,

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Add a scep server with scep ca helper with https url and CA cert with -R option

[root@tigger ~]# /usr/libexec/certmonger/scep-submit -u https://sceptest/CertSrv/mscep/ -R /root/certnew.pem -c -vv
* About to connect() to sceptest port 443 (#0)

* Connected to sceptest (10.65.201.139) port 443 (#0)
* Initializing NSS with certpath: sql:/etc/pki/nssdb
*   CAfile: /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt
  CApath: none
* Server certificate:

* 	expire date: Jul 20 23:15:31 2016 GMT
* 	common name: sceptest
* 	issuer: CN=qe-SCEPTEST-CA
* NSS error -8179 (SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER)
* Peer's Certificate issuer is not recognized.
* Closing connection 0
GET "https://sceptest/CertSrv/mscep/?operation=GetCACaps&message=0"
response_code = 0

code_text = "Peer certificate cannot be authenticated with given CA certificates"
results = ""
Error 60 connecting to https://sceptest/CertSrv/mscep/: Peer certificate cannot be authenticated with given CA certificates.
[root@tigger ~]# 

Actual results:
It complains that Peer certificate not authenticate by CA certificate provided.

Expected results:
It should not complain about the Peer certificate and capabilites of scep server should be fetched.

Comment 1 Nalin Dahyabhai 2015-07-20 18:36:38 UTC 
This breaks SCEP to servers over HTTPS, and the same bug likely breaks dogtag-submit's parsing of -o and -O command-line options, which is functionality that IPA needs.  Pulling the fixes for these in to the 0.78 branch and tagging an 0.78.3 release to fix it.
Comment 3 Kaleem 2015-09-03 18:00:28 UTC 
Verified.
