#5185 IPA default CAACL does not allow cert-request for services after upgrade
Closed: Fixed None Opened 8 years ago by jcholast.

Ticket was cloned from Red Hat Bugzilla (product Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7): Bug 1251225

Description of problem:

On an IPA Master running on RHEL7.1, I upgrade to 7.2 and now I cannot by
default request certs for service principals:

[root@rhel7-9 ~]# ipa cert-request --add --principal=EXAMPLE/$(hostname)
/tmp/cert-req.csr
ipa: ERROR: Insufficient access: Principal 'EXAMPLE/rhel7-9.example.com' is not
permitted to use CA '.' with profile 'caIPAserviceCert' for certificate
issuance.

For the new default CAACL created during upgrade I see this:

[root@rhel7-9 ~]# ipa caacl-find
----------------
1 CA ACL matched
----------------
  ACL name: hosts_services_caIPAserviceCert
  Enabled: TRUE
  User category: all
  Host category: all
  Profiles: caIPAserviceCert
----------------------------
Number of entries returned 1
----------------------------


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ipa-server-4.2.0-3.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Install IPA Master on RHEL7.1
2.  Upgrade to IPA version 4.2 (update to RHEL7.2)
3.  Attempt to request a service cert:

cat > /tmp/cert-req.conf <<EOF
[ req ]
default_bits = 2048
default_keyfile = /tmp/cert-req.key
distinguished_name = test_key_file
prompt = no
output_password = ..

[ test_key_file ]
C = US
ST = CA
L = SFO
O = RedHat Technology
OU = RedHat IT
CN = rhel7-9.example.com
EOF

openssl req -new -config /tmp/cert-req.conf -out /tmp/cert-req.csr

ipa cert-request --add --principal=EXAMPLE/$(hostname) /tmp/cert-req.csr

Actual results:

ipa: ERROR: Insufficient access: Principal 'EXAMPLE/rhel7-9.example.com' is not
permitted to use CA '.' with profile 'caIPAserviceCert' for certificate
issuance.

Expected results:

I expected this to work as it did in RHEL7.1 but, now I'm not sure.  I need
confirmation here.
