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 Matthew Harmsen 2018-01-26 21:49:50 UTC 
The following CERT_REQUEST_PROCESSED events seem to have incorrect outcomes.

These successes probably should have been failures:

    https://github.com/dogtagpki/pki/blob/0f3e03ee3ee0afb3044f61ce1d091493ed76eded/base/server/cms/src/com/netscape/cms/servlet/request/ProcessCertReq.java#L1090

These failures probably should have been successes:

Per discussion with cfu and alee, the CERT_REQUEST_PROCESSED's outcome can be interpreted in two ways:

    Success means that the request has been processed, but the certificate may or may not be issued, depending on approval or rejection. Failure means that there is a problem so the request cannot be processed.

    Success means the request is approved so the certificate is issued. Failure means that the certificate is not issued due to rejection or other problems.

The definition of the outcome needs to be clarified first, then the code needs to be fixed accordingly.

Summary     : Certificate System - PKI Framework
Description :
The PKI Framework contains the common and client libraries and utilities
written in Python.  This package is a part of the PKI Core used by the
Certificate System.


Steps followed for verification

1. Generate a certificate request
2. Reject a certificate request
3. Cancel a certificate request

Observations:

1. Certificate request is successfully submitted to CA

2. On Rejecting a certificate request the following log event is generated

0.http-bio-8443-exec-10 - [15/Feb/2018:00:34:32 EST] [14] [6] [AuditEvent=CERT_REQUEST_PROCESSED][SubjectID=caadmin][Outcome=Failure][ReqID=20][InfoName=rejectReason][InfoValue=<null>] certificate request processed

3. On Cancelling a certificate request the following log event is generated

0.http-bio-8443-exec-10 - [15/Feb/2018:00:35:25 EST] [14] [6] [AuditEvent=CERT_REQUEST_PROCESSED][SubjectID=caadmin][Outcome=Failure][ReqID=19][InfoName=cancelReason][InfoValue=<null>] certificate request processed

I am attaching the logs for the same.
