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 Matthew Harmsen 2016-01-29 18:46:22 UTC
This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/pki/ticket/1483

 For auditing purposes, what I'd expect the installation to work (and what should be tested) is for a non-root user to be able to run pkispawn and install successfully.  After installation completion, only the installation user has access to his/her admin pkcs12.
Same with starting/restarting the server.

It could be just some sudo configuration that narrow down sudo so that some are allowed only to install/start/restart pki servers, and then another to edit pki instance configurations.

Comment 2 Nathan Kinder 2016-06-15 18:09:49 UTC
There is really nothing to fix here.  Installation of RHCS requires root permission (direct or via sudo).  Using sudo should work just fine, but that is a procedural/system issue and not a code issue that requires a bug.
