[Pki-users] pki 10.5 - Unable to log in to PKI console

Marc-

You were correct that the directory manager had the serial #6 version. I tried to replace it with the #33 version, but now when I try to connect, I get the error “You did not provide a valid certificate for this operation.” Instead of “Invalid credential.”

First, you mentioned using pkiconsole. I don’t have pkiconsole installed. I think we found that that was part of RHCS, and we don’t have a subscription for RHCS. So I’m just wading through the CLI commands.

Also, I didn’t find any naming contexts specifically referencing the instance. Caadmin showed up in the Agents and Administrators queries for dc=ca,dc=risd,dc=org.

And there is no CN=PKI Administrator entry in the list of Administrators.

dn: cn=Enterprise KRA Administrators,ou=groups,dc=ca,dc=risd,dc=org
uniqueMember: uid=caadmin,ou=People,dc=ca,dc=risd,dc=or

The user certificate appeared to be in X509 format. I copied that to a file and verified that it was the expired #6 version.

# ldapsearch -xLLL -D "cn=directory manager" -W -b  ou=people,dc=ca,dc=risd,dc=org uid=caadmin userCertificate

userCertificate:: MII********************************************************

I didn’t find any examples of multi-line values in the ldapmodify file, so I tried using the same format as the search used, with the second and subsequent lines beginning with a space and a “-“ on the last line.

$ cat ldapmodify.caadmin.txt
dn: uid=caadmin,ou=people,dc=ca,dc=risd,dc=org

So it took what I gave it. I noticed that for the old cert, ldapsearch displayed “userCertificate::” (two colons), and now it only has “userCertificate:” (one colon). Is that significant? I tried changing the input file to read userCertificate::, and then ldapsearch showed both colons again, but I still got the “you did not provide a valid credential…” error when I tried to connect from my laptop.

I verified that Firefox on my laptop is using PKI Administrator [33] for identification.

The entry
CN=PKI Administrator,E=caadmin at MyServer.MyDomain,OU=MyInstance,O=MyDomain
likely has the older cert with serial 6, it just needs the newer one with serial 0x33 / 51
It may be easier to use the pkiconsole to add it, under"
"Configuration | Users and Groups | Users | admin | Certificates | Import"
Thanks,
M.

Hello,
Probably either there is no caadmin (uid=admin may set from the older environment), or the SSL client certificate is simply missing from the administrator or agent groups.
Try for example:

locate the LDAP base DN of the PKI repository:
ldapsearch -xLLL -D "cn=directory manager" -W -b "" -s base namingcontexts
output example:
dn:
namingcontexts: dc=example,dc=test
namingcontexts: o=rootca1-CA
namingcontexts: o=subca1-CA

note it could be also in the form of namingcontexts: dc=ca1.example.test-pki-ca1
and in your case it may be similar to o=risd-ise-CA

then search into that LDAP backend to verify the values of the attribute uniquemember of the entries, like as this example but by replacing the string o=subca1-CA to match your environment:
either for the agent users:
ldapsearch -xLLL -D "cn=directory manager" -w password -b ou=groups,o=subca1-CA cn=*Agents dn uniqueMember
or the administrators (admin or caadmin is the default one, like a "root" user):
ldapsearch -xLLL -D "cn=directory manager" -w password -b ou=groups,o=subca1-CA cn=*Administrators dn uniqueMember

then verify the uniqueMember value correspond to a valid existing LDAP entry, like for example:
dn: uid=caadmin,ou=people,o=subca1-CA

and then verify that admin or agent user entry has a corresponding user certificate, like for example:
ldapsearch -LLLx -D "cn=directory manager" -W -b  ou=people,o=subca1-CA uid=caadmin userCertificate

you may have to update the value of the userCertificate with ldapmodify to match the certificate with serial number 0x33 and subject DN
CN=PKI Administrator,E=caadmin at MyServer.MyDomain,OU=MyInstance,O=MyDomain
from the NSS db at ~/.dogtag/risd-ise/ca/alias/

Note this can be done using the pkiconsole.

Thanks,
M.

I installed PKI-CA several years ago on a Redhat 7 (actually Oracle Unbreakable Linux) server. I used it to create certificates for an application and have not really used it since. I had to renew the base certificates last year. That took some effort, but I got it to work. Now I am unable to connect to the web-based agent page. I copied the PKI Administrator .p12 certificate from ~/.dogtag/MyInstance/ to my laptop and installed it under “Your Certificates and the signing certificate under Authorities  in Firefox. When I try to connect to the agent page  (https://.../ca/agent/ca), the padlock goes green, but I get an “Invalid Credential” error. /var/log/pki/risd-ise/ca/system contains

Cannot authenticate agent with certificate Serial 0x33 Subject DN CN=PKI Administrator,E=caadmin at MyServer.MyDomain,OU=MyInstance,O=MyDomain. Error: User not found

The caadmin cert is in  ~/.dogtag/risd-ise/ca/alias/cer8.db. There are actually two entries- the current one and the previous expired one.  It is also in /etc/pki/ca-trust/source/anchors

What it is looking for and where?
