Hello Flo,

thank you for your response.

[root@srv01 ~]# ipa config-show | grep renewal
  IPA CA renewal master: srv01.arteris.com

We followed following step, but Certificates will not renew.

Stopped NTP and went back to 2018-05-11
systemctl restart certmonger.service

no luck, so we did

Stopped NTP and went back to 2018-05-11
systemctl restart certmonger.service
stopped FreeIPA - ipactl stop
Started services manually as per this RedHat doc.

Hello,

We had similar issue 2 yrs back, and resurface as it didn't auto-renew.
Went back in time to 2016-06-11 as well as 2020-02-20, restarted "certmonger", didn't update.

Hi,

you need to check first which server is your renewal master:

$ kinit admin

$ ipa config-show | grep renewal


The output should display the name of the renewal master. This host is the first server that needs to be fixed.


In the getcert list output that you provided, we can see that:

- the PKI certificates shared between the servers expired on 2020-02-25 (auditSigningCert cert-pki-ca, ocspSigningCert cert-pki-ca, subsystemCert cert-ki-ca)

- the CA cert is still valid

- the RA cert expired on 2018-06-15

- the HTTP and LDAP server certs expired on 2020-03-07


You need to carefully pick the date you go back in time: at that given date, all the certs must be valid (not expired yet but *already valid*). From your output, the date needs to be before 2018-06-15 but after 2018-03-08 (=the validFrom date for the PKI certs).

More details here: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html

 

curl performs SSL certificate verification by default, using a "bundle"

 of Certificate Authority (CA) public keys (CA certs). If the default  bundle file isn't adequate, you can specify an alternate file  using the --cacert option.

If this HTTPS server uses a certificate signed by a CA represented in  the bundle, the certificate verification probably failed due to a  problem with the certificate (it might be expired, or the name might  not match the domain name in the URL).

If you'd like to turn off curl's verification of the certificate, use  the -k (or --insecure) option.
