[Freeipa-devel] certmonger proxy configuration not possible ?

[Marx, Peter]

I am trying this but it has no effect - as if the environment is not passed to the called helper scep-submit.

In /usr/lib/systemd/certmonger.service there is already a link defined to add stuff:
[Service]
..
EnvironmentFile=/etc/sysconfig/certmonger

In /etc/sysconfig/certmonger I added my proxy like this:

[Service]
Environment="http_proxy=http://proxyuser:proxypassword@proxyserver:proxyport"

After systemctl daemon-reload and systemctl restart certmonger my requests still do not get to the proxy.

Commenting out the EnvironmetFile line and adding the Environment line directly in certmonger.service had the same result.

Can somebody confirm that the proxy setting is visible to the called scep-submit ?

On systemd-enabled systems certmonger runs as a service. You can affect the environment of the service by adding files ending in .conf in /etc/systemd/system/certmonger.service.d/

See systemd.service and systemd.unit man pages.
