27.3. Configuring PKINIT in IdM


If your IdM servers are running with PKINIT disabled, use these steps to enable it. For example, a server is running with PKINIT disabled if you passed the --no-pkinit option with the ipa-server-install or ipa-replica-install utilities.

Prerequisites

Procedure

  1. Check if PKINIT is enabled on the server:
    # kinit admin
    Password for admin@IPA.TEST:
    # ipa pkinit-status --server=server.idm.example.com
    ----------------
    1 server matched
    ----------------
    Server name: server.idm.example.com
    PKINIT status: enabled
    ----------------------------
    Number of entries returned 1
    ----------------------------
    
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    If PKINIT is disabled, you will see the following output:
    # ipa pkinit-status --server server.idm.example.com
    -----------------
    0 servers matched
    -----------------
    ----------------------------
    Number of entries returned 0
    ----------------------------
    
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    You can also use the command to find all the servers where PKINIT is enabled if you omit the --server <server_fqdn> parameter.
  2. If you are using IdM without CA:
    1. On the IdM server, install the CA certificate that signed the Kerberos key distribution center (KDC) certificate:
      # ipa-cacert-manage install -t CT,C,C ca.pem
      Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    2. To update all IPA hosts, repeat the ipa-certupdate command on all replicas and clients:
      # ipa-certupdate
      Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    3. Check if the CA certificate has already been added using the ipa-cacert-manage list command. For example:
      # ipa-cacert-manage list
      CN=CA,O=Example Organization
      The ipa-cacert-manage command was successful
      
      Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    4. Use the ipa-server-certinstall utility to install an external KDC certificate. The KDC certificate must meet the following conditions:
      • It is issued with the common name CN=fully_qualified_domain_name,certificate_subject_base.
      • It includes the Kerberos principal krbtgt/REALM_NAME@REALM_NAME.
      • It contains the Object Identifier (OID) for KDC authentication: 1.3.6.1.5.2.3.5.
      # ipa-server-certinstall --kdc kdc.pem kdc.key
      # systemctl restart krb5kdc.service
      Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    5. See your PKINIT status:
      # ipa pkinit-status
        Server name: server1.example.com
        PKINIT status: enabled
        [...output truncated...]
        Server name: server2.example.com
        PKINIT status: disabled
        [...output truncated...]
      
      Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  3. If you are using IdM with a CA certificate, enable PKINIT as follows:
    # ipa-pkinit-manage enable
      Configuring Kerberos KDC (krb5kdc)
      [1/1]: installing X509 Certificate for PKINIT
      Done configuring Kerberos KDC (krb5kdc).
      The ipa-pkinit-manage command was successful
    
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    If you are using an IdM CA, the command requests a PKINIT KDC certificate from the CA.
