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 Marc Sauton 2019-01-24 06:39:22 UTC 
Description of problem:

host_del and host_disable can fail as cert_find calls ra.find() which search for every certificates instead of the host's certificate by subject DN or serial number.

it should do like for example "ipa cert-find --subject=test0.example.com" , use an LDAP filter in the form of (subjectName=*CN=*test0.example.com*) instead of "(certStatus=*)".

this bug was opened because there is a situation with 560K certificates, where the LDAP search does not complete (it should not, is a separate issue), and as a result, an ipa host_disable command fails with a time out and HTTP 500, ra.find() is searching for every certificate:

ipa: DEBUG: request POST https://ipaserverx:443/ca/rest/certs/search?size=2147483647

and this is a paged search.
and LDAP filters with certStatus=* will use significant cpu resources when there are 100K's of certs.


we have:
/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ipaserver/plugins/host.py
class host_disable(LDAPQuery):
...
            certs = self.api.Command.cert_find(host=keys)['result']

and in
/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ipaserver/plugins/cert.py


why are the host_del and host_disable 's cert_find / ra.find() not doing the cert find by subject that provide the serial number(s), and not use the REST API to revoke by serial number  /ca/rest/agent/certs/{id}/revoke ?


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL-7.6
ipa-server-4.6.4-10.el7.x86_64
redhat-release-server-7.6-4.el7.x86_64


How reproducible:
N/A for failing host_disable or host__del ipa command

Actual results:

in the customer case with 560K certs, a host_disable fails:
[Wed Jan 23 11:38:39.213868 2019] [:error] [pid 30733] ipa: ERROR: ra.find(): Unable to communicate with CMS (500)

host_disable calls cert_find by host, but then call ra.find() which looks for every single certificates in the database:

cu considers this a production down situation, and is requesting a work around.

Is there a method to get around this issue?

Comment 19 Mohammad Rizwan 2019-05-02 11:52:24 UTC 
Version:
ipa-server-4.6.5-6.el7.x86_64

Steps:
1. add a host to ipa
   # ipa host-add test.testrelm.test --force

2. Add a service 
   # ipa service-add testservice/test.testrelm.test --force

3. Add service to the host
   # ipa service-add-host testservice/test.testrelm.test --hosts=$(hostname)

4. Issue a certificate to use the service on host
   # ipa-getcert request -k /etc/pki/tls/private/testservice.key -f /etc/pki/tls/certs/testservice.pem -w -N CN=test.testrelm.test -D test.testrelm.test -K testservice/test.ipa.example

5. check issued certificate, status should be valid
   # ipa cert-find --subject=test.testrelm.test

6. delete the host
   # ipa host-del test.testrelm.test

7. check certificate status as revoked.
   # ipa cert-find --subject=test.testrelm.test
