#4480 Make external CA chain installer options more usable
Closed: Fixed None Opened 9 years ago by jcholast.

Closed: Fixed
Reopen Issue

CA installation should be as straightforward as possible, many users stump on that.

Make the options more usable, at least:

  • Currently we support only PEM certificate files. PKCS#7 is a common format for certificate chains, we should support it as well.
  • Improve validator to catch certificate without an extension (details in comment:2).

We also need to beef up our validation.

When I made a mistake signing the request, and didn't add any extensions to it, the installation crashed with IndexError as in #4397.

Reproducer for comment 2 (If necessary, adjust the IP addresses, hostnames, etc. to fit your environment.)
index-error-reproducer.sh

This a stretch goal for 4.1.
