6.4. Defining a CA ACL to control access to certificate profiles

Procedure

1. Create a new group for the users of the certificate profile:

   $ ipa group-add smime_users_group
   ---------------------------------
   Added group "smime users group"
   ---------------------------------
     Group name: smime_users_group
     GID: 75400001

2. Create a new user to add to the smime_user_group group:

   $ ipa user-add smime_user
   First name: smime
   Last name: user
   ----------------------
   Added user "smime_user"
   ----------------------
     User login: smime_user
     First name: smime
     Last name: user
     Full name: smime user
     Display name: smime user
     Initials: TU
     Home directory: /home/smime_user
     GECOS: smime user
     Login shell: /bin/sh
     Principal name: smime_user@IDM.EXAMPLE.COM
     Principal alias: smime_user@IDM.EXAMPLE.COM
     Email address: smime_user@idm.example.com
     UID: 1505000004
     GID: 1505000004
     Password: False
     Member of groups: ipausers
     Kerberos keys available: False

3. Add the smime_user to the smime_users_group group:

   $ ipa group-add-member smime_users_group --users=smime_user
     Group name: smime_users_group
     GID: 1505000003
     Member users: smime_user
   -------------------------
   Number of members added 1
   -------------------------

4. Create the CA ACL to allow users in the group to access the certificate profile:

   $ ipa caacl-add smime_acl
   ------------------------
   Added CA ACL "smime_acl"
   ------------------------
     ACL name: smime_acl
     Enabled: TRUE

5. Add the user group to the CA ACL:

   $ ipa caacl-add-user smime_acl --group smime_users_group
     ACL name: smime_acl
     Enabled: TRUE
     User Groups: smime_users_group
   -------------------------
   Number of members added 1
   -------------------------

6. Add the certificate profile to the CA ACL:

   $ ipa caacl-add-profile smime_acl --certprofile smime
     ACL name: smime_acl
     Enabled: TRUE
     Profiles: smime
     User Groups: smime_users_group
   -------------------------
   Number of members added 1
   -------------------------
