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.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2011:0570 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE certmonger bug fix and enhancement update 2011-05-19 09:37:40 UTC

Description Kaleem 2011-04-13 13:50:48 UTC
Description of problem:
Certmonger crashes when in start-tracking new values of parameters Extended Key Usage, DNS, Email and principal name are provided.
It is occurring only when all four parameters are provided in start-tracking.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
certmonger-0.41-1.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
Issue a certificate request with default values for parameters like Extended Key usage, DNS, Email and principal name. Now provide new values for all four parameters in start-tracking so that new values gets effective when certiificate gets renewed.


Steps to Reproduce:
(1)Install certmonger

[root@testing getcert_start-tracking]# yum install certmonger -y

Installed:
  certmonger.x86_64 0:0.41-1.el6                                                                    
Dependency Installed:
  libtevent.x86_64 0:0.9.8-8.el6                                                                   Complete!

(2)Start certmonger service
[root@testing getcert_start-tracking]# service certmonger start
Starting certmonger:                                       [  OK  ]

(3)Create a temp directory
[root@testing getcert_start-tracking]# mkdir /tmp/kaleem

(4)Change the SELinux context of directory created in last step

[root@testing getcert_start-tracking]# chcon -t cert_t /tmp/kaleem/

(5)Issue a request with request nickname

[root@testing getcert_start-tracking]# getcert request -d /tmp/kaleem/ -n certtest -I testing -c SelfSign
New signing request "testing" added.
[root@testing getcert_start-tracking]# getcert list

[root@testing getcert_start-tracking]#

(6)Run start-tracking on the request with new values for parameters extended key usage, DNS, Email and principal name

[root@testing getcert_start-tracking]# getcert start-tracking -i testing -U id-kp-clientAuth -D new.lab.redhat.com -E abc -K "host/new.lab.redhat.com"
