Metadata Update from @edewata:
This issue was migrated from Pagure Issue #1598. Originally filed by edewata (@edewata) on 2015-09-01 22:07:52:
Similar to ticket 1552, the current CS.cfg contains base-64 encoded data of the subsystem certificates. The certificates are actually also stored in the NSS database, so the copies in the CS.cfg are redundant. Some applications such as IPA only keep track and renew the certificates in NSS database, so the copies in the CS.cfg may become outdated. Any code that is relying on the copy in the CS.cfg may not work correctly.
To remove redundancy, all codes should be converted incrementally to obtain the certs directly from the NSS database. Once everything is converted, the redundant certs can be removed from CS.cfg with an upgrade script.
