#1360 Support NSSDB in Python API
Closed: migrated 3 years ago by dmoluguw. Opened 8 years ago by ftweedal.

The pki Python API is difficult to use with FreeIPA because
it expects certificates in PEM format, but FreeIPA stores certificates
in an NSSDB.

The way FreeIPA does requests is to use httplib with a custom
connection factory that establishes the secure connection and
handles the client certificate. The Dogtag API uses python-requests,
so options seem to be:

  • find a way to make python-requests work with NSSDB certificates
    (which should not be exported)
  • refactor the Python code to not use python-requests and implement
    support for user-supplied connection factory.
