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.

Comment 1 Simo Sorce 2019-02-11 15:39:30 UTC 
This issue was not selected to be included either in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.7 because it is seen either as low or moderate impact to a small amount of use-cases. The next release will be in Maintenance Support 1 Phase, which means that qualified Critical and Important Security errata advisories (RHSAs) and Urgent Priority Bug Fix errata advisories (RHBAs) may be released as they become available. We will now close this issue, but if you believe that it qualifies for the Maintenance Support 1 Phase, please re-open; otherwise we recommend moving the request to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 if applicable.
Comment 7 Bob Relyea 2019-04-04 18:56:13 UTC 
resolved in nss-3.43.0-4.el7
Comment 9 Ondrej Moriš 2019-05-31 05:56:01 UTC 
I still do not see it in the man page with nss-tools-3.44.0-2.el7:

# mandb -c
...
# man certutil
...
       -u certusage
           Specify a usage context to apply when validating a certificate with the -V option.

           The contexts are the following:

           ·   C (as an SSL client)

           ·   V (as an SSL server)

           ·   L (as an SSL CA)

           ·   A (as Any CA)

           ·   Y (Verify CA)

           ·   S (as an email signer)

           ·   R (as an email recipient)

           ·   O (as an OCSP status responder)

           ·   J (as an object signer)
Comment 10 Daiki Ueno 2019-06-03 11:40:22 UTC 
Bob, do you want to fix this?  I think it is okay to postpone as it only affects testing behavior with -V.
Comment 11 Bob Relyea 2019-06-05 16:24:48 UTC 
It's not certusage, it's extended key usage.
Comment 12 Bob Relyea 2019-06-05 16:29:45 UTC 
You can find the new usages with 'man certutil | grep -i ipsec'

Comment 13 Daiki Ueno 2019-06-05 16:31:27 UTC 
Yes I know, but this bug is about certusage, because Kai's original patch added it (-u I).  Do you think we should remove that option?
Comment 14 Bob Relyea 2019-06-05 16:32:07 UTC 
Oh, -u I was also added, I thought this bug was about the missing ipsec extendedKeyusages that were added by my latest patch. -u I was added quite a while ago.
Comment 15 Bob Relyea 2019-06-05 16:34:04 UTC 
OK, my bad. Kai didn't add -I, he just added the raw IPSEC value. OK. I still need to update this.
Comment 17 Bob Relyea 2019-06-10 17:16:15 UTC 
nss-3.44.0-4.el7 should have the new man page. The patch is upstream and in RHEL 8.0.z as well.

Comment 18 Ondrej Moriš 2019-06-12 12:31:14 UTC 
Actually, Ivan pointed out that there is a difference between --help and man page, in --help the value is "IPsec" and in man page it is "IPSEC". Is the -u option case sensitive or not? If it is, we should perhaps want to have the it the same in help and man page to avoid mistakes.

Anyway, it is not a blocking issue for RHEL-7.7

Ah, one specifies just "I" (-u I). Sorry my bad. It is okay then. Sorry for the noise.
