That did it! I can now access the agent page. I still get the Java “Error” pop-ups, but I can click through those and get to where I need. Now I get to renew the caadmin cert and repeat this exercise, and then document everything for next time!
Since we’re only using dogtag for a single internal application, it would be nice to extend these longer than 2 years each time. I found https://frasertweedale.github.io/blog-redhat/posts/2019-03-04-dogtag-system-cert-lifetime.html that discusses how to adjust the maximum certificate lifetimes. Also https://www.dogtagpki.org/wiki/PKI_CA_Profile_CLI . Do you have any recommendations on that, as in am I better off just leaving well-enough alone?
Thanks again for all of your help! If you ever decide to write a “Dogtag for Dummies” book, I’ll buy a copy! Of course I’ll probably be retiring within the next 5 years, so you’ll need to get it done before that!

I may have forgotten a detail:
the "decrisption" value that needs to be updated ( the pkiconsole would do that)
search for the caadmin entry:
ldapsearch -xLLL -D "cn=directory manager" -W -b ou=people,dc=ca,dc=risd,dc=org uid=caadmin description
and verify that description attribute needs a value in the form of
2;serial-number;issuer-subject-DN;subject-DN
if the serial is 0x33 / 51 , it needs to be like for example:
description: 2;51;CN=CA Signing Certificate,OU=suba1,O=Sub CA1 Example Test; CN=PKI Administrator,E=caadmin at example.test,OU=subca1,O=Sub CA1 Example Test
So another ldapmodify is needed (could have been done in one).
Thanks,
M.

And now ldapsearch gives me:

I restarted the pki-tomcat service for the instance. Now when I try to access it, I am back to the simple “Invalid Credential” error.
/var/log/pki/risd-ise/ca/system says:

Could the problem be that there is no naming context for risd-ise, so it’s not matching the caadmin user? From your first response yesterday, it seems like you expected there to be, but I just have dc=ca,dc=risd,dc=org. I’ve been doing the ldapmodifies on it.
If there ever was an entry for risd-ise, I don’t know what happened to it. I definitely didn’t intentionally delete it, because I didn’t really even know about the directory server part beyond the steps in the Installation Guide.

Extra note, a ldapmodify "replace" should be used as the userCertificate can be multi valued, and the first sample may be used from a LDAP search result set, which can be the older certificate, so it is better to either del/add or replace it to avoid confusion.
Thanks,

For the pkiconsole:
correct for RHEL, would need the RHCS subscription.
but it is available from Fedora:
pki-console-10.7.3-3.fc31.noarch : PKI Console Package
Repo : fedora
I do not think we have the pkiconsole in CentOS ( http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7.7.1908/ )
For the ldapmodify, add the colon char twice because the value is already base-64 encoded, like for example:
dn: uid=caadmin,ou=people,dc=ca,dc=risd,dc=org
changetype: modify
delete: userCertificate
-
add: userCertificate
userCertificate:: MII...
That should solve the issue!

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.

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

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

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"

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,

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?
