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 of problem:

Scenario 1:
1) Install IPA server 
2) ipa-cacert-manage renew --external-ca

Scenario 2:
1) Install IPA master with external-ca
2) ipa-cacert-manage renew --self-signed

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
pki-server-10.5.9-1.el7.noarch
ipa-server-4.6.4-2.el7.x86_64



Actual results:
renewal fails

Expected results:
renewal should be successful

The issue happens in api.bootstrap because this method is called with an env variable LANG/LC_ALL not set.
When certmonger is starting the CA helpers, it clears all the environment variables, but it should rather set LANG or LC_ALL to a suitable value (i.e. one for which sys.getfilesystemencoding() returns utf-8).

The fix already exists in certmonger and needs to be backported:
https://pagure.io/certmonger/c/0288d36e56bab788da3a494142bf9070f9f3aaf9?branch=master
Keep LC_*, LANG, set default LC_CTYPE
