1390321 – two-step externally-signed CA installation fails due to missing AuthorityID

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.

Fixed In Version:	pki-core-10.3.3-12.el7_3
Doc Type:	Bug Fix
Doc Text:	Previously, during two-step installation, Certificate System attempted to perform a lightweight CA key replication because the CA signing key was not available. This caused the installation to fail because lightweight CA key replication attempts to read the CA's UUID, which was not yet assigned at this point. With this update, two-step installation does not attempt to perform a lightweight CA key replication, and can now complete successfully.

Comment 4 Geetika Kapoor 2016-11-04 05:20:39 UTC

Hi Fraser,

Is it okay to test this bug with HSM and non HSM machine and LunaSA machine?
Customer generally use this with HSM and LunaSA machines.

Thanks
Geetika

Comment 5 Fraser Tweedale 2016-11-04 07:29:05 UTC

Geetika,

It is a good idea to very with HSM.

Thanks!

Comment 9 Ade Lee 2016-11-10 15:00:19 UTC

The failure here has nothing to do with Fraser's Authority ID code (yet).
Basically, we are attempting to import the new CA certificate, and this is failing because of some kind of parsing error.

How did you sign the CSR?  Please attach the CSR, Cert and chain.

Comment 10 Geetika Kapoor 2016-11-10 15:07:15 UTC

Hello Ade,

I get it signed using nssdb.I saw this behavior earlier also once and here is the reference BZ https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1378539
