Description Daniel Qarras 2009-03-04 18:43:39 UTC
Description of problem:
In enterprise world different departments set up services and put them behind https using certificates signed with local corporate CA certificates. In Fedora real CA certificates are provided in system level by files

/etc/pki/java/cacerts
/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt
/etc/pki/nssdb/cert8.db

These are part of RPMs and modifying them is not feasible (e.g., RPM upgrades will wipe locally added CA certs away).

A method to add local CA certs in system level is needed.

Comment 1 Daniel Qarras 2009-03-05 21:31:21 UTC
BTW, this would probably be also very useful with things like IPA which use (by default) a self create CA cert and then issue certificates to clients.
