#1236 Change ipaCert CN to 'IPA RA' instead of 'RA subsystem' as it might cause confusio
Closed: Fixed None Opened 12 years ago by rcritten.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=705804

Once IPA is configured, the ipaCert subject CN is named as RA Subsystem. This
might lead to confusion as IPA does not use dogtag's RA subsystem.

Steps to Reproduce:
- Configure IPA
- Issue a

certutil -L -d /etc/httpd/alias -n ipaCert

and notice the CN of the subject

Actual results:
CN says 'RA Subsystem'

[root@neptune alias]# certutil -L -d . -n "ipaCert" | grep RA -A 4 -B 4
        Issuer: "CN=Certificate Authority,O=LAB.ENG.PNQ.REDHAT.COM"
        Validity:
            Not Before: Thu May 12 06:31:38 2011
            Not After : Wed May 01 06:31:38 2013
        Subject: "CN=RA Subsystem,O=LAB.ENG.PNQ.REDHAT.COM"
        Subject Public Key Info:
            Public Key Algorithm: PKCS #1 RSA Encryption
            RSA Public Key:
                Modulus:
[root@neptune alias]#

Changing CN to something like 'IPA RA' would be helpful.
as RA subsystem from dogtag is not installed, this CN=RA subsystem might lead
to confusion


Rob,
you think should these directives also be renamed in '/etc/ipa/default.conf'?


enable_ra=True ;
ra_plugin=dogtag


No, it is too late to rename them.
