1437953 – Server CA-less impossible option check

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 Petr Vobornik 2017-03-31 14:14:56 UTC

Cloned from upstream: https://pagure.io/freeipa/issue/6807

When CA-less server-install is run only with `--dirsrv-cert-file` and `--http-cert-file`, obviously the below message is shown:

```
ipa-server-install: error: --dirsrv-cert-file, --http-cert-file, and --pkinit-cert-file or --no-pkinit are required if any key file options are used.
```

Alright, seems like we need to add `--pkinit-cert-file`. Now, we get:
```
ERROR    Cannot create KDC PKINIT certificate and use provided external PKINIT certificate at the same time. Please choose one of them.
```
By looking in `ipaserver/install/server/install.py` around line 515, we are doing this check:

```
    if options.pkinit_cert_files:
        if not options.no_pkinit:
```
which by itself is non-sensical as `no_pkinit` cannot be specified along with `pkinit_cert_files`. But lets' give it a chance and add `--no-pkinit`. We get:
```
ipa-server-install: error: --no-pkinit and --pkinit-cert-file cannot be specified together
```

Comment 5 Michal Reznik 2017-05-30 08:36:32 UTC

1. Try to install CA-less ipa-server without both "--pkinit-cert-file" and "no_pkinit"

[root@master ~]# ipa-server-install -r TESTRELM.TEST -n testrelm.test -p 'XXX' -a 'XXX' --setup-dns --forwarder 192.168.222.1 -U --dirsrv-cert-file=./server.p12 --http-cert-file=./server.p12 --dirsrv-pin XXX --http-pin XXX
Checking DNS domain testrelm.test, please wait ...
Usage: ipa-server-install [options]

ipa-server-install: error: --dirsrv-cert-file, --http-cert-file, and --pkinit-cert-file or --no-pkinit are required if any key file options are used.
ipa.ipapython.install.cli.install_tool(CompatServerMasterInstall): ERROR    The ipa-server-install command failed. See /var/log/ipaserver-install.log for more information
[root@master ~]#

2. Install CA-less server with pkinit

[root@master ~]# ipa-server-install -r TESTRELM.TEST -n testrelm.test -p 'XXX' -a 'XXX' --setup-dns --forwarder 192.168.222.1 -U --dirsrv-cert-file=./server.p12 --http-cert-file=./server.p12 --dirsrv-pin XXX --http-pin XXX --pkinit-cert-file=./pkinit-server.p12 --pkinit-pin XXX
Checking DNS domain testrelm.test, please wait ...

The ipa-client-install command was successful

==============================================================================
Setup complete

Next steps:
 1. You must make sure these network ports are open:
  TCP Ports:
    * 80, 443: HTTP/HTTPS
    * 389, 636: LDAP/LDAPS
    * 88, 464: kerberos
    * 53: bind
  UDP Ports:
    * 88, 464: kerberos
    * 53: bind
    * 123: ntp

 2. You can now obtain a kerberos ticket using the command: 'kinit admin'
    This ticket will allow you to use the IPA tools (e.g., ipa user-add)
    and the web user interface.

In order for Firefox autoconfiguration to work you will need to
use a SSL signing certificate. See the IPA documentation for more details.
