That is exactly what I want. Do you have experience with this? If so, does it work if the certificate requests are being handled by an external entity? We use a Department of Energy CA located in California, but the users in our community are from across the US (and international), and we're looking to improve the process of them acquiring a usable "identity" in a federated environment. We're using FreeIPA internally, but if we can link it in to the cert request process and cert mgmt process (from the user end, not the CA end) that would be great. Ian </blockquote> Experience? I've been on the Dogtag project for over a week now. I'm learning about it as we speak. The place to ask about Dogtag and the pki products is <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/pki-users" class="external text" title="http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/pki-users" rel="nofollow">pki-users@redhat.com</a> and the IRC Channel on freednode is #dogtag-pki. Integrating KRA into IPA is on the map, although I am not sure the timeframe. However, I suspect that our approach would be assuming you wanted your own CA. Not sure if you can do KRA with an external CA. <pre wrap=""> <fieldset class="mimeAttachmentHeader"></fieldset> _______________________________________________ Freeipa-users mailing list <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:Freeipa-users@redhat.com">Freeipa-users@redhat.com</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/freeipa-users">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/freeipa-users</a></pre> </blockquote> DRM is the way to go. However it does not support symmetric keys now. This is the pert that we need for volume keys. May be it is the vault to store all sorts of keys. This is something that needs to be designed and looked at as a broader perspective. Adam likes to repeat a phase about dreaming big so I do. I want IPA to be a vault for all sorts of keys and passwords and what else. If DRM is the answer - great. I can start listing the use cases that such a key store should satisfy and we can design something that would altimately fit the build but build gradually knocking use cases one by one. I will take an action idem to come with the use cases.
