Description Yedidyah Bar David 2018-05-10 08:42:00 UTC
Description of problem:

We should routinely test all components using a 3rd-party CA.

1. Create a CA

Can be using openssl on the lago host, or on the engine machine in a separate directory somewhere, or on a separate VM, or using dogtag, or whatever.

2. Setup an engine

3. Replace all relevant certs there, including:

apache httpd
websocket-proxy
imageio-proxy

4. Verify that these components work well:

- Use wget/curl with the 3rd-party CA cert to connect to httpd and verify the connection

- No idea how to specifically test the imageio/websocket-proxy UI, but we should

The challenge I see here:
1. We do not want to test this as the default - this is NOT what most customers and users use.
2. We do not want to use another suite just for this.


I wonder if could do it as one of the very last tests in the system: do the replacement and then test it.
Since we restart Engine anyway as part of the LDAP tests, I wonder if we should do the modifications then.
Of course, testing the functionality is indeed working is an extra step (we could probably download an image for imageio, the API we today login insecurely, the webui is not tested yet, etc...)

BTW, this is exactly the kind of more 'sophisticated' tests maybe QE should perform?

You mean, "we do want to test the default, which is to use the engine-internal CA for everything"? Agreed.

I tend to guess most of the larger setups do use 3rd-party (internal or external) CAs.

> 2. We do not want to use another suite just for this.

Well, not sure, but this is a technical detail - let's first decide what we want. IMO we want (at least?) something like:

1. Install and setup an engine and use default (internal CA for everything)
2. Do some representative sample of operations with it
3. Configure stuff to use a 3rd-party CA
4. Do some representative sample of operations

(2.) can probably be rather small, as I assume that setups that do decide to use 3rd-party CAs, do this early.

(4.) should be rather large - not sure all of current basic-suite, but I rather spend a few more cycles than skip something relevant we didn't think about.

That's (4.) above.

We will have these capabilities in the future as part of our testing coverage
