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.

Fixed In Version: ipa-2.1.3-3.el6
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: The X509v3 certificate in a host or service record in the Web UI was not properly formatted so was not easily usable. Consequence: One could not simply cut-and-paste the certificate and use it in PEM format. Fix: Convert the certificate from base64 into PEM format. Result: A certificate can be cut-and-pasted and used in PEM format.

Description Niranjan Mallapadi Raghavender 2011-05-02 15:24:21 UTC 
Description of problem:

From Firefox Browser installed on RHEL6.1 IPA server, unable to donwload the Client Cert (Certificate for Host) . 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ipa-server-2.0.0-16.el6.x86_64
firefox-3.6.15-2.el6_0.x86_64

How reproducible:
1. kinit admin
2. firefox&
3. Click on Identity->Host-> Add a host-
4. Post the CSR and once signed, click on Get to copy and past the Certificate. 

5. run the openssl x509 -in file.crt -noout -text 

The actual result is:
openssl x509 -in dhcp210-7.crt -noout -text
unable to load certificate
140453227505480:error:0906D064:PEM routines:PEM_read_bio:bad base64 decode:pem_lib.c:807:


When selecting all from the browser and pasting it on text file, the CR/LF characters are not there , which makes the file unsable, so the only option is to run  the below command 


$ipa host-show  dhcp210-7.gsslab.pnq.redhat.com --out dhcp210-7.crt
  
Expected results:

The Enterprise IPA should provide a better method to download the certificate from browser.

Comment 7 Niranjan Mallapadi Raghavender 2011-11-07 09:19:32 UTC 
Thanks for fixing this bug

1. I had verified the fix by  Adding the host from web-ui first 

2. Created certificate request for the host using the below command 
$openssl genrsa 1024 > juno.key

$openssl req -new -key juno.key -out juno.csr 

3. Submit the CSR , by following the below procedure
Login as admin to the web-ui->host-> select the host added, click on "New Certificate" and paste the CSR  created using step-2

4. Once Signed click on Get "To get the Certificate" , Copy the Contents and 
verify it using 
$openssl x509 -in <file-name> -noout -text

Thanks
Niranjan
Comment 8 Gowrishankar Rajaiyan 2011-11-07 10:08:36 UTC 
Thanks Niranjan for confirming this. 


1. openssl genrsa 1024 > sideswipe.key
2. openssl req -new -key sideswipe.key -out sideswipe.csr
3. Submit the CSR , by following the below procedure
Login as admin to the web-ui->host-> select the host added, click on "New
Certificate" and paste the CSR  created using step-2
4. Once Signed click on Get "To get the Certificate" , Copy the Contents and 
verify it using 

openssl x509 -in shanks.sideswipe --noout -text
