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.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2017:2304 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE ipa bug fix and enhancement update 2017-08-01 12:41:35 UTC

Description Petr Vobornik 2017-03-22 09:07:37 UTC
Cloned from upstream: https://pagure.io/freeipa/issue/6795

The customers are often confused by ipa-cacert-manage install. The man page currently states:

       install
              - Install a CA certificate
              This command can be used to install the certificate contained in
              CERTFILE as an additional CA certificate to IPA.

The man page should make it clear that IPA CA is not modified in any way by this command.

Comment 5 Ganna Kaihorodova 2017-05-25 13:16:37 UTC
[root@bkr-hv03-guest08 ~]# rpm -q ipa-server
ipa-server-4.5.0-9.el7.x86_64
[root@bkr-hv03-guest08 ~]# man ipa-cacert-manage | grep "install"
ipa-cacert-manage [OPTIONS...] install CERTFILE
              When the IPA CA is subordinate of an external CA, the renewal process involves submitting a CSR to the external CA and installing the newly issued certificate in IPA,  which  cannot  be  done
       install
              This command can be used to install the certificate contained in CERTFILE as an additional CA certificate to IPA.
              Important:  this  does not replace IPA CA but adds the provided certificate as a known CA. This is useful for instance when using ipa-server-certinstall to replace HTTP/LDAP certificates with third-party certificates signed by this additional CA.
