Description of problem:
My long-running FreeIPA public demo instance (upgraded to the newest Fedora from 2018) cannot update KRA certificates. They always end up with error "Server at "http://ipa.demo1.freeipa.org:8080/ca/ee/ca/profileSubmit" replied: Missing credential: sessionID"

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
freeipa-server-4.8.7-1.fc32.x86_64
pki-ca-10.9.0-0.4.fc32.noarch
pki-kra-10.9.0-0.4.fc32.noarch
certmonger-0.79.11-2.fc32.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Check the status of renewed certificates with "getcert list"
2. Move the date or wait 1 week before KRA Transport/Storage Certificate expires
3. See if the certificate renews

Actual results:
Certificate does not renew

Expected results:
Certificate renews

Additional info:
I assume that the root cause is somewhere in updates of the certmonger tracking list.

To clarify, this is a bug in FreeIPA.


These profiles are for subsystem installation only. If you require similar profiles with agent auth, please ask. Until then, this commit should probably be reverted, as it will not work.

So, I think the proper KRA profiles to use would be caStorageCert.cfg and caTransportCert.cfg.  However, the out of box authentication method used is manual agent approval for those.

If you wish to use RA cert to authenticate, copy each profile to something like ipaKRAStorageCert and ipaKRATransportCert, change the authentication id to the following:
auth.instance_id=AgentCertAuth

Anyways, there's a bit more details than that to create customized profiles.  Is this what you guys need from us?

--- Additional comment from Alexander Bokovoy on 2020-08-25 09:49:37 UTC ---

Yes, more details would be good to have.

My guess is that we need:

1. Create new profiles, as outlined by Christina in comment #9.

2. Add the profiles to LDAP store during upgrade or install

3. Add use of KRA profiles to a specific CA ACL so that IPA replica host can request one

4. Make sure to use the profiles when issuing KRA certificate

5. Convert existing KRA certificate's request in certmonger to use new profile

Most of these steps are on IPA side.
