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 German Parente 2017-09-14 09:47:17 UTC 
Description of problem:

we have several customer facing this issue.

Florence has easily reproduced this by doing ipa-cacert-manage renew. that generates a new ca cert. So, two of then in the cert db.

While this is not an issue, ipa-replica-install fails with:

Steps to Reproduce:  thanks Florence !!

1.ipa-cacert-manage renew / ipa-certupdate in master
2. ipa-replica-install
Comment 3 Florence Blanc-Renaud 2017-09-14 16:50:20 UTC 
It seems that ipa-cacert-manage renew sometimes leaves the NSSDB with the prev cert and the new cert obtained from renewal (not systematically reproduced).
For instance:
$ sudo certutil -L -d /etc/pki/pki-tomcat/alias 

Certificate Nickname                                         Trust Attributes
                                                             SSL,S/MIME,JAR/XPI

Server-Cert cert-pki-ca                                      u,u,u
auditSigningCert cert-pki-ca                                 u,u,Pu
caSigningCert cert-pki-ca                                    CTu,Cu,Cu
ocspSigningCert cert-pki-ca                                  u,u,u
subsystemCert cert-pki-ca                                    u,u,u
caSigningCert cert-pki-ca                                    CTu,Cu,Cu


Here 'caSigningCert cert-pki-ca' appears twice and that will cause an issue during replica install, when custodia retrieves the keys for this cert.

Not sure yet if it is a bug in certmonger (should it remove the old cert before adding the new one?) or a NSS issue.

On the replica side, when custodia tries to retrieve the cert and key, it performs 
pk12util -d /etc/pki/pki-tomcat/alias -o <pk12file> -n 'caSigningCert cert-pki-ca' -k /etc/pki/pki-tomcat/alias/pwdfile.txt -w <pk12pwfile>
on the master (ie take the cert from PKI nssdb and produce a pk12 file), and the custodia client receives the content from the pk12file and performs
pk12util -d <nssdb> -k <nssdbpwdile> -n 'caSigningCert cert-pki-ca' -i <pk12file> -w <pk12pwfile>
(ie extract the cert from pk12 file and put it in a temporary NSSDB).
The issue can be reproduced manually with pk12util commands. What is strange, is that running the client-side pk12util command twice succeeds.

$ sudo pk12util -d /tmp/nssdb/ -i /tmp/ca.p12 -n 'caSigningCert cert-pki-ca' 
Enter Password or Pin for "NSS Certificate DB":
Enter password for PKCS12 file: 
pk12util: PKCS12 decode import bags failed: SEC_ERROR_PKCS12_UNABLE_TO_IMPORT_KEY: Unable to import.  Error attempting to import private key.
$ sudo pk12util -d /tmp/nssdb/ -i /tmp/ca.p12 -n 'caSigningCert cert-pki-ca' 
Enter Password or Pin for "NSS Certificate DB":
Enter password for PKCS12 file: 
pk12util: PKCS12 IMPORT SUCCESSFUL

So there may be an issue as well with pk12util.
