Red Hat Summit31장. Verifying system certificates using IdM Healthcheck
Learn more about identifying issues with system certificates in Identity Management (IdM) by using the Healthcheck tool.
31.1. System certificates Healthcheck tests
The Healthcheck tool includes several tests for verifying system, or Dogtag, certificates.
You can find all certificate-related tests under the ipahealthcheck.dogtag.ca source in the output of the ipa-healthcheck --list-sources command.
- DogtagCertsConfigCheck
This test compares the CA (Certificate Authority) certificates in its NSS database to the same values stored in
CS.cfg. If they do not match, the CA fails to start.Specifically, it checks:
-
auditSigningCert cert-pki-caagainstca.audit_signing.cert -
ocspSigningCert cert-pki-caagainstca.ocsp_signing.cert -
caSigningCert cert-pki-caagainstca.signing.cert -
subsystemCert cert-pki-caagainstca.subsystem.cert -
Server-Cert cert-pki-caagainstca.sslserver.cert
If Key Recovery Authority (KRA) is installed, it also checks:
-
transportCert cert-pki-kraagainstca.connector.KRA.transportCert
-
- DogtagCertsConnectivityCheck
This test verifies connectivity. This test is equivalent to the
ipa cert-show 1command which checks the following:- The PKI proxy configuration in Apache
- IdM being able to find a CA
- The RA agent client certificate
- The correctness of CA replies to requests
The test verifies that the
ipa cert-showcommand can be executed and that an expected response is returned from the IdM CA - either the certificate itself or anot foundresponse.
