Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-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 Marcel Gazdík 2016-02-12 10:07:09 UTC 
Description of problem:
  Customer is trying to use custom certificate authority chain file. Despite of all the changes made in 
certificate files, the path to SSL chain file in apache configuration file 05-foreman-ssl.conf is wrong.
Instead of pointing to the katello-default-ca.crt it should pointing to katello-server-ca.crt where
the custom chain file is saved.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
6.1.6 

How reproducible:
Install the satellite and apply custom certificates.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install satellite 
2. Run katello-installer to modify the certificates
  katello-installer --certs-server-cert "/root/$SAT.crt" \
  --certs-server-cert-req "/root/$SAT.csr" \
  --certs-server-key "/root/$SAT.key" \
  --certs-server-ca-cert '/root/new_ca.crt' \
  --certs-update-server \
  --certs-update-server-ca
3. Check path to the SSL certificate chain file in the '/etc/httpd/conf.d/05-foreman-ssl.conf' file.

Actual results:
The 'SSLCertificateChainFile' option in the '/etc/httpd/conf.d/05-foreman-ssl.conf' files points 
to 'katello-default-ca.crt' instead of 'katello-server-ca.crt'

$ grep SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/httpd/conf.d/05-foreman-ssl.conf -A 1 -B 1
  SSLCertificateKeyFile   "/etc/pki/katello/private/katello-apache.key"
  SSLCertificateChainFile "/etc/pki/katello/certs/katello-default-ca.crt"
  SSLCACertificatePath    "/etc/pki/tls/certs"

Source of this error can be found in the katello-installer answer file:

$ grep server_ssl_chain /etc/katello-installer/answers.katello-installer.yaml -A 1 -B 1
    server_ssl_ca: /etc/pki/katello/certs/katello-default-ca.crt
    server_ssl_chain: /etc/pki/katello/certs/katello-default-ca.crt
    server_ssl_cert: /etc/pki/katello/certs/katello-apache.crt


Expected results:

Modification of the '/etc/katello-installer/answers.katello-installer.yaml' file will lead to correct 
path to the SSL certificate chain file in the '/etc/httpd/conf.d/05-foreman-ssl.conf'

$ grep server_ssl_chain /etc/katello-installer/answers.katello-installer.yaml -A 1 -B 1
    server_ssl_ca: /etc/pki/katello/certs/katello-default-ca.crt
    server_ssl_chain: /etc/pki/katello/certs/katello-server-ca.crt
    server_ssl_cert: /etc/pki/katello/certs/katello-apache.crt

$ grep SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/httpd/conf.d/05-foreman-ssl.conf -A 1 -B 1
  SSLCertificateKeyFile   "/etc/pki/katello/private/katello-apache.key"
  SSLCertificateChainFile "/etc/pki/katello/certs/katello-server-ca.crt"
  SSLCACertificatePath    "/etc/pki/tls/certs"



Additional info: (workaround)

Modify the answer file:
sed -i -e 's/server_ssl_chain: \/etc\/pki\/katello\/certs\/katello-default-ca.crt/server_ssl_chain: \/etc\/pki\/katello\/certs\/katello-server-ca.crt/' /etc/katello-installer/answers.katello-installer.yaml

re-run katello-installer without parameters.

The answers file and the httpd config now contain the right cert file:

[root@sat63-qa-rhel7 ~]# grep SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/httpd/conf.d/05-foreman-ssl.conf -A 1 -B 1
  SSLCertificateKeyFile   "/etc/pki/katello/private/katello-apache.key"
  SSLCertificateChainFile "/etc/pki/katello/certs/katello-server-ca.crt"
  SSLCACertificateFile    "/etc/pki/katello/certs/katello-default-ca.crt"

[root@sat63-qa-rhel7 ~]# grep server_ssl_chain /etc/foreman-installer/scenarios.d/katello-answers.yaml -A 1 -B 1
  server_ssl_ca: /etc/pki/katello/certs/katello-default-ca.crt
  server_ssl_chain: /etc/pki/katello/certs/katello-server-ca.crt
  server_ssl_crl: ''
