Description Rob Crittenden 2009-07-27 17:25:25 UTC
Description of problem:

Trying to use Firefox 3.5 and importing the IPA CA the following error is thrown:

This is not a certificate authority certificate, so it can't be imported into the certificate authority list.

Comment 1 Rob Crittenden 2009-07-27 17:26:46 UTC
certutil needs the -2 option as well and it needs the following answers:

Is this a CA certificate [y/N]?
y
Enter the path length constraint, enter to skip [<0 for unlimited path]: > 
Is this a critical extension [y/N]?

Comment 3 Rob Crittenden 2009-08-24 21:20:30 UTC
I'm working on a tool that can be run to replace an existing IPA CA. I've run into a couple of snags that need to be worked around before the tool is complete.

Deployment could also be problematic. All browser clients will need to trust the new CA and new server certs issued on the initial IPA server and all replicas. The exact steps for this are still being worked out.

ipa-1-2: 5bdeaf74fc6fcfe402322d21046176d5a8d66be3

Still working on replacement tool. Rich Megginson had a great idea, just re-issue the CA cert using the same keypair. The CA cert still needs to go out everywhere but certs don't need to be re-issued for all services.
