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 Brian J. Atkisson 2018-02-26 16:06:11 UTC 
Description of problem:


We have an externally signed CA cert in IdM, resulting in the following
chain:

1. CN=Red Hat IT Root CA/O=Red Hat, Inc.
2. CN=Intermediate Certificate Authority/O=Red Hat
3. O=IPA.REDHAT.COM/CN=Certificate Authority

This is the chain stored in /etc/ipa/ca.crt.  However, the cert stored
in /usr/share/ipa/html/ca.crt only consists of #3 (the IPA CA cert). As
such, when clients are prompted to download the CA cert during the
ipa-client-install from http://$IPA_SERVER/ipa/config/ca.crt, they fetch
only #3.  This kind of works, but then the install fails at:

======================

http://$IPA_SERVER/ipa/config/ca.crt?

Comment 2 Florence Blanc-Renaud 2018-03-01 15:11:43 UTC 
The installation with external-ca only adds IPA CA in master:/usr/share/ipa/html/ca.crt. Note that if ipa-certupdate is run on the master, the whole chain will be written to this file.

The other workaround is to copy master:/etc/ipa/ca.crt to client:/tmp/ca.crt and call ipa-client-install --ca-cert-file=/tmp/ca.crt (or copy directly to /etc/ipa/ca.crt and it will be reused).
Comment 3 Petr Vobornik 2018-03-20 17:27:55 UTC 
In renewal case, it is documented to run ipa-certupdate on all replicas.

It is documented in renewal procedure: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/html/linux_domain_identity_authentication_and_policy_guide/cert-renewal#manual-cert-renewal-ext

Do I understand it correctly that the bug is that on install, usr/share/ipa/html/ca.crt is not updated with full chain? And it is still valid on RHEL 7.4 and further? And correct fix would be to update it automatically during master installation and all subsequent replica installations?
Comment 4 Florence Blanc-Renaud 2018-03-22 10:00:17 UTC 
In reply to comment #c3: yes, the issue happens on install with --external-ca and is present on RHEL 7.4:
ipa-server.x86_64                    4.5.0-22.el7_4

and RHEL 7.5:
ipa-server.x86_64               4.5.4-10.el7

We should automatically update it during master installation.
