#1285 [MAN] Apply 'generateCRMFRequest() removed from Firefox' workarounds to appropriate 'pki' man page
Closed: Fixed None Opened 9 years ago by mharmsen.

In recent testing of the CA profile entitled 'Manual User Signing & Encryption Certificates Enrollment' (generally used to verify that the KRA is working properly), the following issue was discovered:

Firefox 36:

Dual Key Generation
* Key Generation Request Type   Not Supported
* Key Generation Request        Not Supported
Subject Name
...

Firefox 31.4.0:

Dual Key Generation
* Key Generation Request Type   crmf
* Key Generation Request    1024 RSA  (Encryption),    1024 RSA  (Signing)
Subject Name
...

Firefox 31.4.0 was used to verify the sanity of my installed KRA, however, further investigation explained that this feature has been removed from Firefox 34 and later:

We should either:

(a) fix this profile (which may also require some minor documentation updates), or
(b) supply a CLI to create such a request, remove this profile from the product,
    and document what happened to it as well as the CLI procedure used to
    replace it.

Proposed milestone: 10.2.3


A CLI to generate CRMF request is provided in ticket #1074.

Need to update the man page with instruction to generate CRMF request. Also need to inform UI users to use CLI instead.

Per CS/DS meeting of 03/02/2015: 10.2 Backlog

Moving to 10.3.5, since this is more than just a man page, some server work required, out of time.

[MAN] Apply 'generateCRMFRequest() removed from Firefox' workarounds to appropriate 'pki' man page

This fix will involve the following changes to the source tree.

1. Fixes to the CS.cfg to add two new cert profiles.
2. Make the caDualCert.cfg profile invisible since it has little chance of
working any more in Firefox.
3. Create caSigningUserCert.cfg and caSigningECUserCert.cfg to allow the CLI
to have convenient profiles from which to enroll signing ONLY certificates.
