Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
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 Matt Crawford 2017-04-28 20:24:59 UTC
Description of problem:
Kerberos through MIT 1.15 is not compatible with PIV and PIV-I smartcards

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.14.3

How reproducible:
Attempt to authenticate by PKINIT with "kinit -X ..." and a government-format PIV or PIV-I smartcard

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure realm for pkinit
2. Attempt to authenticate as client with "kinit -X ..." and PIV-I card.

Actual results:
KDC rejects because it cannot be made to recognize the user's certificate


Expected results:
(Hoped-for results) TGT is obtained.

Additional info:
In the 1.16 release, MIT added a per-principal pattern-matching capability to the KDC preauth plugin for pkinit. This solves the compatibility problem for a great many sites such as the DOE National Labs. As soon as the 1.16 code is in released state from MIT, please make it the base for RHEL.

Comment 5 Robbie Harwood 2017-10-09 17:42:44 UTC
The certauth plugin (which I believe is what is described here) was included in rhel-7.4.

Comment 6 Pat Riehecky 2017-10-09 18:15:56 UTC
Manpage for krb5.conf does have pkinit_cert_match which is the key feature from 1.16.
