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.

Description Namita Soman 2012-05-03 18:56:31 UTC
Description of problem:
In the UI for Hosts and services, it provides instructions to generate a cert. 
Following the steps throws an error:
Certificate operation cannot be completed: unknown(3) (Request Rejected - Key Parameters 1024,2048,3072,4096 Not Matched)


The size of the private key, by default is 512. If a size of 1024 is specified, can generate a valid cert.
so steps taken were:
# openssl genrsa -out key.pem 1024
Generating RSA private key, 1024 bit long modulus
.........++++++
.............++++++
e is 65537 (0x10001)
[root@qe-blade-01 nk]# openssl req -new -key key.pem  -subj '/O=TESTRELM.COM/CN=qq.testrelm.com' -out cert.csr



Also - instead of using openssl, can the steps indicate using certutil, so that we use the nss db?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ipa-server-2.2.0-12.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add a Host or Service
2. Edit it
3. Click on 'New Certificate' for Host or Service
4. Follow instructions provided to get a cert
5. Click Issue
  
Actual results:
error thrown:
Certificate operation cannot be completed: unknown(3) (Request Rejected - Key Parameters 1024,2048,3072,4096 Not Matched)

Expected results:
new cert should be issued

Comment 3 Rob Crittenden 2012-05-08 16:55:50 UTC
This is just a text change that is easily verified. In addition we'd like to replace the openssl CSR generation instructions with NSS instructions.

Comment 5 Martin Kosek 2012-05-15 08:39:02 UTC
Fixed upstream:
master: https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/changeset/4640f957ade4615972a9b857a8f2e1b97e524d01

Steps used to generate a CSR are now based on NSS.

Comment 8 Namita Soman 2012-11-27 05:27:52 UTC
Verified instructions using ipa-server-3.0.0-8.el6.x86_64
Instruction indicate stpes using certutil.


# certutil -R -d /home/ -a -g 512 -s 'CN=one.testrelm.com,O=TESTRELM.COM'

and used the cert generated from this command to add a new cert for a host. Got error:
Certificate operation cannot be completed: unknown(3) (Request Rejected - Key Parameters 1024,2048,3072,4096 Not Matched)

Was successful when cert was generated using command:
# certutil -R -d /home/ -a -g 1024 -s 'CN=one.testrelm.com,O=TESTRELM.COM'
cert was added succesfully for host

Comment 9 Namita Soman 2012-11-27 05:37:49 UTC
