Cannot add externally-signed IPA CA certificate
by Dmitry Perets
Hi,
I am trying to configure FreeIPA as a SubCA, and the "RootCA" is self-made with openssl. So I've signed the FreeIPA's request with my self-signed "root ca" certificate, but it looks like FreeIPA doesn't like it:
ipa-server-install --external-cert-file=/root/rootca/rootcacert.pem --external-cert-file=/root/rootca/certs/ipacert.pem
<...skipped...>
ipa.ipapython.install.cli.install_tool(CompatServerMasterInstall): ERROR CA certificate CN=RootCA,OU=PRJ,O=COMPANY,L=Bonn,C=DE in /root/rootca/rootcacert.pem, /root/rootca/certs/ipacert.pem is not valid: not a CA certificate
ipa.ipapython.install.cli.install_tool(CompatServerMasterInstall): ERROR The ipa-server-install command failed. See /var/log/ipaserver-install.log for more information
The subj above is my self-made root CA cert, so it looks like something is missing in it. But what...?
Here is it below, it has the "Basic Constraint" set with CA:TRUE... What else is required, so that FreeIPA accepts it as a root CA?
Should I add it somewhere first, before running the ipa-server-install?
[root@ipa ~]# openssl x509 -text -noout -in /root/rootca/rootcacert.pem

FreeIPA Upgrade F31 -> F32: usr/lib/api/apiutil.c Could not open /run/lock/opencryptoki/LCK..APIlock
by Anthony Joseph Messina
After upgrading FreeIPA from F31 to F32, on startup I now see a lot of these errors from certmonger, ns-slapd, java, etc.
May 08 17:57:28 certmonger[38]: usr/lib/api/apiutil.c Could not open /run/lock/opencryptoki/LCK..APIlock
May 08 17:57:30 ns-slapd[67]: usr/lib/api/apiutil.c Could not open /run/lock/opencryptoki/LCK..APIlock

May 08 17:57:42 java[640]: usr/lib/api/apiutil.c Could not open /run/lock/opencryptoki/LCK..APIlock
The server seems to come up without issue, but can you point me in the right direction to resolve these errors?
freeipa-server-4.8.6-1.fc32.x86_64
opendnssec-2.1.6-5.fc32.x86_64
opencryptoki-3.13.0-1.fc32.x86_64
I've installed a fresh F32 freeipa-server (on a test domain) and I don't see these errors.
Thanks. -A

Something changed regarding enrollment permissions?
by Ronald Wimmer
Today we did not manage to enroll new hosts with our enrollment user.
The only thing we changed is that we added the Permission "System:
Remove hosts" to the "Host Enrollment" role. The error we get is:
Joining realm failed: Failed to parse result: Insufficient access rights
Retrying with pre-4.0 keytab retrieval method...
Failed to parse result: Insufficient access rights
Failed to get keytab!
Failed to get keytab
child exited with 9
When I try to add the same host with my admin user it works without any
problems.
Cheers,
Ronald

Unable to install ipa client centos 7.5.1804 (Core)

FreeIPA certificate doesn't validate in iOS
by Jochen Kellner
Hello,
I'm running IPA on current Fedora 32, freeipa-server-4.8.9-2 and pki-server-10.9.0-0.4
Today the certificate of my IMAP server (running on Debian Buster) was
automatically refreshed:
,----
| Request ID '20181003215953':
| status: MONITORING
| stuck: no
| key pair storage: type=FILE,location='/etc/ssl/private/imap.jochen.org.key'
| certificate: type=FILE,location='/etc/ssl/certs/imap.jochen.org.crt'
| CA: IPA
| issuer: CN=Certificate Authority,O=JOCHEN.ORG
| subject: CN=imap.jochen.org,O=JOCHEN.ORG
| expires: 2022-09-07 09:30:16 CEST
| dns: imap.jochen.org
| principal name: imap/jupiter.jochen.org(a)JOCHEN.ORG
| key usage: digitalSignature,nonRepudiation,keyEncipherment,dataEncipherment
| eku: id-kp-serverAuth,id-kp-clientAuth
| pre-save command:
| post-save command: /root/refresh_cyrus_certificate.sh
| track: yes
| auto-renew: yes
`----
On an iPhone one of my users gets a message that the certificate is not valid.
Reason seems to be this: https://7402.org/blog/2019/new-self-signed-ssl-cert-ios-13.html
When I look at the certificate with openssl I see:
,----
| X509v3 extensions:
| X509v3 Authority Key Identifier:
| keyid:4F:F8:45:3D:E8:06:4B:8D:BB:9D:D2:D1:8B:00:43:A1:07:16:A1:17
|
| Authority Information Access:
| OCSP - URI:http://ipa-ca.jochen.org/ca/ocsp
|
| X509v3 Key Usage: critical
| Digital Signature, Non Repudiation, Key Encipherment, Data Encipherment
| X509v3 Extended Key Usage:
| TLS Web Server Authentication, TLS Web Client Authentication
`----
My current guess is that the "Key Usage: critical" is the reason for the iOS error.
I've looked for the certprofiles and found these files:
,----
| [root@freeipa3 /]# find . -name \*caIPAserviceCert\* -ls
| 8510694 8 -rw-rw---- 1 pkiuser pkiuser 6218 Mär 4 2020 ./var/lib/pki/pki-tomcat/ca/profiles/ca/caIPAserviceCert.cfg
| 9332162 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 229 Aug 20 12:38 ./usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/ipaclient/csrgen/profiles/caIPAserviceCert.json
| 26138015 8 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7014 Aug 20 12:37 ./usr/share/ipa/profiles/caIPAserviceCert.UPGRADE.cfg
| 26138016 8 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7294 Aug 20 12:37 ./usr/share/ipa/profiles/caIPAserviceCert.cfg
| 9323278 8 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6272 Jun 25 23:53 ./usr/share/pki/ca/profiles/ca/caIPAserviceCert.cfg
`----
These files contain:
,----
| policyset.serverCertSet.6.constraint.params.keyUsageCritical=true
| policyset.serverCertSet.6.constraint.params.keyUsageDigitalSignature=true
| policyset.serverCertSet.6.constraint.params.keyUsageNonRepudiation=true
| policyset.serverCertSet.6.constraint.params.keyUsageDataEncipherment=true
| policyset.serverCertSet.6.constraint.params.keyUsageKeyEncipherment=true
| policyset.serverCertSet.6.constraint.params.keyUsageKeyAgreement=false
`----
So I think this is where the critical comes from and the keyUsage defaults come from.
What I could use help with is the following:
1. I didn't find reports about the problem in pagure or the mailing
list. Am I really alone with this?
2. My FreeIPA has been installed years ago on Fedora, moved to CentOS
and this year back to Fedora by creating replicas. Has there been a
problem with upgrading the certprofiles?
3. How can I remove the options from the certificate request so that
certmonger gets a valid certificate?
Do I miss something else?

Stateless Machines and Force Join
by Mark Potter
We boot everything stateless in our environment and are using FreeIPA for
authentication. I started discussing this a while ago but ended up with
other things taking priority. The number of machines we have make managing
keys an untenable solution so we are using
ipa-client-install -U -q -p <join user> -w <password --domain=domain.com
--server=ipaserver.domain.com --fixed-primary --force-join
called from rc.local during boot to rejoin machines to the FreeIPA
environment (we will be moving away from --fixed-primary but aren't there
yet). While this works it, potentially, exposes a password. I am looking
for a better way to handle machines that need to re-join at every boot.
We have access to ansible as well a decent, in house, templating system for
configuration. Please forgive my starting this discussion anew and not
resurrecting a zombie and thanks in advance for your help!

Allocation of a new value for DNA range failed
by Ronald Wimmer
After upgrading to OL 8.1 and replacing all of my 8 IPA servers I ran
into this particular problem.
Is it right that I need to have an ID range where all DNA ranges have to
fit in? And that the DNA range of each IPA server has to be distinct
from the ranges of the other IPA servers?
I will start by checking each IPA server with
ldapsearch -x -D 'cn=Directory Manager' -W -b 'cn=Posix
IDs,cn=Distributed Numeric Assignment Plugin,cn=plugins,cn=config'
(according to what Rob wrote on his blog some years ago
https://rcritten.wordpress.com/2015/01/05/freeipa-and-no-dna-range/ )
Cheers,

SmartCard-HSM authentication using pinpad card reader for improved security
by Peter Steen
Hello Folks!
We are working on getting smart card authentication working using pinpad card readers for improved security.
To do this we use:
FreeIPA Server is running on Fedora32 with latest updates. FreeIPA is also configured to be Certificate Authority.
FreeIPA Clients are Fedora 32 based with latest updates with connected usb card reader Gemalto C700 with pinpad, we use several user individual SmartCard HSM 4K with FreeIPA signed certificates on them. FreeIPA Clients run OpenSC and are configured to use smartcard certificate based authentication, setup per Smartare HSM best practice. Further clients are using SSSD and not PAM_PKCS#11.
All working great using smartcard for authentication, as long not enabling the pinpad in opensc.
If doing so we are prompted for the PIN not only in the pinpad reader but also GDM prompts you to enter PIN on keyboard.
Expected result is to be logged in directly after entering correct PIN code on pinpad reader, not being prompted by GDM to enter PIN on keyboard as well.
If enabling pinpad, login gets a bit odd:
1. Fedora 32 workstation GDM menu prompts a few users that can login
2. Smartcard is inserted in reader
3. GDM blanks out the screen and smartcard reader prompts to enter PIN.
4. Entering pin on smartcard reader followed by pressing ok button on smartcard reader at getting result Pin OK in reader display.
5. GDM now prompts for entering PIN on keyboard, this is unexpected, instead of being logged in to the window manager, here Gnome or xfce.
6. Any number can be entered, it does not matter, followed by hitting enter.
7. Once again smartcard reader now prompts for PIN.
8. Entering PIN on the smartcard pinpad reader followed by pressing pinpad ok button.
9. You are now logged in, and all is normal. If ripping out the smartcard from reader the screen locks, as expected.
What could this be, anyone who have seen this before or know how to set it up ?
