Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-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 Nikhil Kathole 2017-11-15 07:30:47 UTC
Description of problem: Argument -r REQ_FILE in katello-certs-check utility is not mandatory. Thus if -r argument is not passed while performing check, it throws some warning as readlink: missing operand.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): sat 6.3 snap 24

# rpm -qa | grep katello-certs

How reproducible:always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. openssl genrsa -out rootCA.key 2048
2. openssl req -x509 -new -nodes -key rootCA.key -sha256 -days 1024 -out rootCA.pem
3. openssl req -new -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout server.key -out server.csr
4. openssl x509 -req -in server.csr -CA rootCA.pem -CAkey rootCA.key -CAcreateserial -out server.valid.crt -days 100 -sha256
5. katello-certs-check -c server.valid.crt -k server.key -b rootCA.pem

Validation succeeded.

To install the Katello main server with the custom certificates, run:

    foreman-installer --scenario katello\
                      --certs-server-cert "/root/certs/server.valid.crt"\
                      --certs-server-cert-req ""\
                      --certs-server-key "/root/certs/server.key"\
                      --certs-server-ca-cert "/root/certs/rootCA.pem"

To update the certificates on a currently running Katello installation, run:

    foreman-installer --scenario katello\
                      --certs-server-cert "/root/certs/server.valid.crt"\
                      --certs-server-cert-req ""\
                      --certs-server-key "/root/certs/server.key"\
                      --certs-server-ca-cert "/root/certs/rootCA.pem"\
                      --certs-update-server --certs-update-server-ca

To use them inside a NEW $FOREMAN_PROXY, run this command:

    foreman-proxy-certs-generate --foreman-proxy-fqdn "$FOREMAN_PROXY"\
                                 --certs-tar  "~/$FOREMAN_PROXY-certs.tar"\
                                 --server-cert "/root/certs/server.valid.crt"\
                                 --server-cert-req ""\
                                 --server-key "/root/certs/server.key"\
                                 --server-ca-cert "/root/certs/rootCA.pem"\

To use them inside an EXISTING $FOREMAN_PROXY, run this command INSTEAD:

    foreman-proxy-certs-generate --foreman-proxy-fqdn "$FOREMAN_PROXY"\
                                 --certs-tar  "~/$FOREMAN_PROXY-certs.tar"\
                                 --server-cert "/root/certs/server.valid.crt"\
                                 --server-cert-req ""\
                                 --server-key "/root/certs/server.key"\
                                 --server-ca-cert "/root/certs/rootCA.pem"\
                                 --certs-update-server


Actual results: Check passed but it shows some warning 

readlink: missing operand
Try 'readlink --help' for more information.
