[Pki-devel] PKI client: Utilize system-wide crypto-policies

[Christian Heimes]

Hi,

this ticket in FreeIPA came to my attention:

  https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/4853
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1179220

FreeIPA isn't directly affected by the issue. But the Python client
library of Dogtag PKI uses OpenSSL and therefore indirectly affects FreeIPA.

It's also a bit related to #1253. Depending on how we want to solve
#1253 we can fix FreeIPA's #4853 at the same time. I see two solutions:

1) Use NSS for TLS/SSL. That would delay crypto-policies, because NSS
doesn't support it yet.

2) Write another SSL adapter for python-requests that allows us to use
the system certs as well as specify the cipher list.
