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 Florence Blanc-Renaud 2019-08-01 09:47:49 UTC 
Document URL: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/html-single/installing_identity_management/index#stop-CRL-generation-7-redirect-to-8_migrate-7-to-8

Section Number and Name: 17.4. Stopping CRL generation on RHEL 7 and redirecting CRL requests to RHEL 8

Describe the issue: One of the steps in this section is wrong. The step 4 states:
----
 Configure Apache to redirect CRL requests to the new master. Open the /etc/httpd/conf.d/ipa-pki-proxy.conf file and uncomment the RewriteRule argument, replacing the server host name with the rhel8.example.com host name in the server URL:

# Only enable this on servers that are not generating a CRL
RewriteRule ^/ipa/crl/MasterCRL.bin https://rhel8.example.com/ca/ee/ca/getCRL?op=getCRL&crlIssuingPoint=MasterCRL [L,R=301,NC]
----

Suggestions for improvement: The step 4 should state instead:

----
 Configure Apache to redirect CRL requests to the local Certificate System server. Open the /etc/httpd/conf.d/ipa-pki-proxy.conf file and uncomment the RewriteRule argument:

# Only enable this on servers that are not generating a CRL
RewriteRule ^/ipa/crl/MasterCRL.bin https://rhel7.example.com/ca/ee/ca/getCRL?op=getCRL&crlIssuingPoint=MasterCRL [L,R=301,NC]
----

Additional information: The admin does not need to modify the server host name as it should point to the local host (=rhel7). When the rewrite rule is enabled, the CRL  is obtained from the local Certificate System server instead of from a local file.


For reference, please also see the same issue on RHEL 7 documentation, BZ 1735692
Comment 3 Filip Hanzelka 2019-09-11 12:02:18 UTC 
Hi Flo,

Thank you for the fast confirmation, I have updated the doc accordingly:

https://gitlab.cee.redhat.com/red-hat-enterprise-linux-documentation/rhel-8-docs/commit/e24db56865117f2cd1023a7ca942cc7296711340 

I'll publish the new version as soon as it gets through to Pantheon.

I forgot to update the BZ. The changes can now be seen on the CP:

If I go to this page, the link in 21.4 Prerequisites is broken. Same comment for the link in 21.5 Prerequisites. The text for the link in 21.5 should be "For details, see **Starting** CRL generation on IdM master server." instead of Stopping.
