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.

Fixed In Version: pki-core-10.5.9-7.el7_6
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
A previous version of Certificate System added a feature to enforce TLS client authentication when authenticating through CMCAuth. However, certain older applications do not support TLS client authentication and failed to connect to Certificate System. This update adds the bypassClientAuth configuration parameter to the /var/lib/pki/pki-instance_name/ca/conf/CS.cfg file. As a result, administrators can now set this parameter to "true" to disable client authentication if not supported by certain applications.

    Bug1628410 CMC: add config to allow non-clientAuth
    
    This patch adds a new parameter, cmc.bypassClientAuth, in the CS.cfg
    to allow agents to bypass clientAuth requirement in CMCAuth.
    Default value for cmc.bypassClientAuth is false.
    
    In addition, CMC enrollment profile caCMCUserCert "visible" value is
    set to false.

Comment 3 Christina Fu 2018-09-26 18:08:01 UTC
test procedure:
First make sure the original clientAuth requirement is not broken:
Perform any CMCAuth enrollment as instructed in any previous test cases and make sure clientAuth is still required and matches the signer of the cmc request.

Next, test bypassing clientAuth (as requested by the customer).
set the following to true in CA's CS.cfg:
cmc.bypassClientAuth=true
Restart the CA.
Perform the same test again, but this time set clientmode=false in HttpClient.
Make sure it works.
