Description Kaleem 2011-10-05 05:33:32 UTC
Description of problem:
A proper error message is not displayed when a non-existent request identifier is provided for "getcert list".

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

[root@dhcp201-220 ~]# rpm -q certmonger
certmonger-0.48-1.el6.x86_64
[root@dhcp201-220 ~]#

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install Certmonger and start certmonger service
2.run following command

[root@dhcp201-220 ~]# getcert list -i non-existent
Number of certificates and requests being tracked: 0.
[root@dhcp201-220 ~]#

  
Actual results:
It displays on command line only no of certificates tracked.

Expected results:
It should prompt that no matching request found for given request identifier.


Additional info:
(1)Similar behaviour observed when non-existent nickname along with existing NSS db is provided with 'getcert list'. In this case too it should prompt that no matching request found for given nickname.

[root@dhcp201-220 ~]# getcert list -d /tmp/kaleem/ -n non-existent
Number of certificates and requests being tracked: 0.
[root@dhcp201-220 ~]#

(2)Similar behaviour observed when non-existent file based storage is provided with 'getcert list'. In this scenario as well it should prompt that no matching request found for given file based storage.

[root@dhcp201-220 ~]# getcert list -f /tmp/kaleem/non-existent.crt
Number of certificates and requests being tracked: 0.
[root@dhcp201-220 ~]#

Comment 3 Kaleem 2011-10-14 11:54:37 UTC
Nalin,

Still i see earlier behaviour and there is no new error message for this.

[root@dhcp201-220 ~]# rpm -q certmonger 
certmonger-0.49-1.el6.x86_64
[root@dhcp201-220 ~]# getcert list -i non-existent
Number of certificates and requests being tracked: 0.
[root@dhcp201-220 ~]

Ugh, didn't push these changes from the box where they were made.  Fixing.

Comment 5 Kaleem 2011-10-17 07:01:50 UTC
Verified.

RHEL Version:
[root@dhcp201-220 ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release 
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.2 Beta (Santiago)

Certmonger Version:

[root@dhcp201-220 ~]# rpm -q certmonger
certmonger-0.50-1.el6.x86_64
[root@dhcp201-220 ~]#

Steps used to verified:
(1)Install Certmonger 

[root@dhcp201-220 ~]# yum install certmonger -y
Loaded plugins: product-id, subscription-manager

Installed:
  certmonger.x86_64 0:0.50-1.el6                                                                    [root@dhcp201-220 ~]#
                                             
(2)Start Certmonger service

[root@dhcp201-220 ~]# service certmonger start
Starting certmonger:                                       [  OK  ]
[root@dhcp201-220 ~]#

(3)Run "getcert list" with a non-existent request identifier/nickname with NSS db/filebased storage

[root@dhcp201-220 ~]# getcert list -i non-existent
No request found with specified nickname.
[root@dhcp201-220 ~]#

[root@dhcp201-220 ~]# getcert list -d /tmp/kaleem/ -n non-existent
No request found that matched arguments.
[root@dhcp201-220 ~]#

[root@dhcp201-220 ~]# getcert list -f /tmp/kaleem/non-existent.crt
No request found that matched arguments.
[root@dhcp201-220 ~]#


Result:
Now proper error message is displayed on providing non-existent request identifier/nickname with NSS db or non-existent filebased storage.
