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: 389-ds-base-1.3.7.5-10.el7
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Replication now works correctly with TLS client authentication and FIPS mode enabled Previously, if you used TLS client authentication in a Directory Server replication environment with Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) mode enabled, the internal Network Security Services (NSS) database token differed from a token on a system with FIPS mode disabled. As a consequence, replication failed. The problem has been fixed, and as a result, replication agreements with TLS client authentication now work correctly if FIPS mode is enabled.

Comment 2 mreynolds 2017-06-23 14:08:05 UTC 
This is a known issue with nss (I don't think the fix has been released yet), what version of NSS is on your test system?
Comment 15 thierry bordaz 2017-06-27 12:25:17 UTC 
Hi Hubert, there are few documents describing this bind method:
You may have a look at https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_directory_server/9.0/html/administration_guide/managing_replication-configuring-replication-cmd#Configuring-Replication-ReplAgmt-cmd (search for nsds5replicabindmethod sslclientauth)

Also you may have a look at this test case that setup a cert-base client auth https://pagure.io/389-ds-base/blob/master/f/dirsrvtests/tests/tickets/ticket47536_test.py

Turns out this was DNS issue in customer's environment.
Comment 17 mreynolds 2017-10-27 15:57:11 UTC 
Ignore last update -that was meant for a different bug

If you have a pointer to the PK11SlotInfo *, you can use  PK11_GetTokenName().
If you need the internal slot you can get it with:
PK11_GetInternalSlot() for the crypto slot and PK11_GetInternalKeySlot() for the key/cert database slot. In FIPS mode it will return the same token.


The PK11_GetInternal*Slot() calls return a reference you need to free (PK11_FreeSlot()).

PK11_GetTokenName() returns a const char * which will say around until you free the slot (well until the slot is fully freed, but you know it won't be fully freed as long as you have a reference to it).

      .
      .
      .

    slot = PK11_GetInternalKeySlot();
    if (slot == NULL) {
          /* throw error */
    }
    tokenName = PK11_GetTokenName(slot);
    /* copy or use tokenName */

    PK11_FreeSlot(slot);
       .
       .
       .

Hubert,

I did see the code I needed in (nss_engine_pphrase.c).  Bob thanks for the detailed info on using the token name and slot correctly!  This is now fixed upstream on the DS side.
