I tried creating a CA with SHA384withRSA
algorithm, all system certs were created correctly with that algorithm.
Which cert profile does IPA use to create the LDAP Server-Cert?
The LDAP server cert is created with the profile caIPAserviceCert.
So far I cannot reproduce the problem in a plain PKI environment. I've created some tests to issue certs using caServerCert
profile with different algorithms (see PR #4521).
In all cases the certs were issued with the correct algorithms:
SHA384withRSA
: https://github.com/dogtagpki/pki/actions/runs/5730995154/job/15531172808#step:20:56SHA512withRSA/PSS
: https://github.com/dogtagpki/pki/actions/runs/5730995154/job/15531172586#step:20:57SHA512withEC
: https://github.com/dogtagpki/pki/actions/runs/5730995154/job/15531172395#step:20:56To my understanding there's no significant differences between the profiles in terms of algorithms:
So the problem seems to be specific to IPA. Were there any recent changes in IPA that might have affected this? What changes does IPA make to the CS.cfg
that might be related to algorithms? Do you have the CA debug log from the failed test? It's not available from the link above.
There wasn't any change in IPA related to the signing algorithm. I'm testing with the same IPA version and do one test with pki 11.3.1-1.fc38, the other with pki from the copr repo @pki/master.
With pki 11.3.1-1: the file /etc/pki/pki-tomcat/ca/CS.cfg is created with the following parameters:
ca.ocsp_signing.defaultSigningAlgorithm=SHA256withRSA
ca.signing.defaultSigningAlgorithm=SHA384withRSA
With the copr repo: the file /etc/pki/pki-tomcat/ca/CS.cfg is created with the following parameters:
ca.audit_signing.defaultSigningAlgorithm=SHA256withRSA
ca.ocsp_signing.defaultSigningAlgorithm=SHA256withRSA
ca.signing.defaultSigningAlgorithm=SHA256withRSA
ca.sslserver.defaultSigningAlgorithm=SHA256withRSA
ca.subsystem.defaultSigningAlgorithm=SHA256withRSA
To me it looks like the same call to pkispawn produces 2 different CS.cfg and that is the root cause of my issue.
I still can't reproduce this in plain PKI environment. I've updated the tests to check those params (see PR #4524) and in all cases they are set to the correct values:
ca.signing.defaultSigningAlgorithm
: https://github.com/dogtagpki/pki/actions/runs/5740872113/job/15560270027#step:12:211ca.ocsp_signing.defaultSigningAlgorithm
: https://github.com/dogtagpki/pki/actions/runs/5740872113/job/15560270027#step:13:200ca.audit_signing.defaultSigningAlgorithm

: https://github.com/dogtagpki/pki/actions/runs/5740872113/job/15560270027#step:16:191Could you confirm that the algorithm params for pkispawn
in IPA are configured like in the test?

It would help if we could take a look at the CA debug logs to see what algorithm is actually used and where it came from.

Thanks for the info. Apparently there's a long-standing bug that was never discovered since we probably always tested with the same key & signing algorithms, and it's now affecting IPA due to recent a cleanup that merged some of the code. I've created a PR to fix the bug: https://github.com/dogtagpki/pki/pull/4531
One of the FreeIPA nightly tests is failing with the copr repo @pki/master. The test is installing IPA server with the option
--ca-signing-algorithm=SHA384withRSA
but the resulting LDAP Server-Cert is created with SHA-256 With RSA Encryption.See PR #2870, with the following report and logs:
Test scenario:
ipa-server-install -n ipa.test -r IPA.TEST -p Secret.123 -a Secret.123 --ca-signing-algorithm=SHA384withRSA
certutil -L -d /etc/dirsrv/slapd-IPA-TEST/ -n Server-Cert
Signature Algorithm: PKCS #1 SHA-256 With RSA Encryption
but we expect SHA-384IPA installer calls pkispawn with a configuration file containing
pki_ca_signing_signing_algorithm = SHA384withRSA
.The test is failing with dogtag-pki-ca-11.5.0-0.1.alpha1.20230728134901UTC.cb798fce.fc38.noarch (full list of packages available here) but was succeeding last week with dogtag-pki-ca-11.5.0-0.1.alpha1.20230721223657UTC.3e987bc0.fc38.noarch
