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.

Description Martin Poole 2015-09-16 15:53:40 UTC 
Description of problem:

The option to "Show" a "Host Certificate" display a single string.

In order to be of any use whatsoever this needs to be line wrapped at 64 characters and wrapped with the usual

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----

-----END CERTIFICATE-----

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

ipa-server-4.2.0-8.el7
Comment 2 Rob Crittenden 2015-09-16 17:39:00 UTC 
More details would be useful on where exactly you are seeing this but it can be done on the command-line by specifying --out /path/to/file:

$ ipa cert-show 1 --out /tmp/cert.pem

$ ipa host-show ipa.example.com --out /tmp/cert2.pem
Comment 3 Martin Poole 2015-09-17 08:28:10 UTC 
This is in the GUI having chosen a host on the Hosts page.

On the right hand side you get

  Host Certificate

       Certificate   1 certificates(s) present  "Show"
Comment 4 Petr Vobornik 2015-09-17 08:48:48 UTC 
I agree that output is not the best. The proposal sounds reasonable.

In long term perspective Web UI can also have multiple views of cert:
- make it downloadable in e.g. pem format
- display it as proposed in comment 1
- "show" the certificate in human readable form
Comment 5 Martin Poole 2015-09-17 10:32:50 UTC 
Addtionally, on using 

  ipa host-show ipa.example.com

I see the same pointless format for the certificate (admittedly the --out format is correct).  Is there any point in printing such a string in that manner ?

  Fingerprint (MD5): a2:df:29:d5:48:50:f4:16:45:8d:b6:40:c1:4b:78:64
  Fingerprint (SHA1): 3b:c6:1c:08:bb:70:e6:b5:3f:de:21:a7:fb:3c:c0:60:cf:a6:ec:29


MD5 ? In this day and age ?

And even if MD5 is still relevant in certain dusty realms where's the sha256 & sha512 ?

Now the certificate can be
* viewed parsed in Web UI
* viewed in PEM format in Web UI
* downloaded in PEM format
