Most of these aren't IPA issues, but dogtag issues. I'll try to
split
them out.

IPA:

For the configuration files in install/conf to be updated at rpm
update
time the VERSION needs to be incremented.

These files should stay the same since on upgrade we're still using a
Dogtag 9 style instance. The Dogtag 10 ports are only used in new
installs.

The ipa package lacks any updated dogtag dependencies, so I abused
it.

What should the updated dependencies be? Since it should work with
both
dogtag 9 and 10, I don't see how they should change.

I don't know either, but we need to prevent people from installing
incompatible package combinations.

Would'nt the Conflicts: ipa < 3.0 in pki-ca mentioned below satisfy
this
requirement?  The main concern is that you must have ipa 3.0 if you
have
dogtag 10.

Given that dogtag is consumed by IPA though, it makes more sense to put
the relevant conflicts in IPA rather than in dogtag.  So in this case,
that would mean putting Conflicts: pki-ca >= 10.0 in IPA 2.x.
Recall that dogtag 10 will only be officially available in f18+.

That isn't enough. If a F-17 user with IPA 2.2 installed upgrades to
F-18 they would be able to install dogtag 10 and blow up their IPA
server.


I installed IPA with dogtag 9 and created a replica.

I updated the IPA bits, that worked fine.

I updated to dogtag 10 and now the CA doesn't work on the master,
including starting the dogtag instance. Note that the rpm update
process
worked, no notice that the CA service didn't restart.

Did you try to restart the CA with selinux in permissive mode?
This is
still required right now until I get the selinux policy all
straightened
out.

There is also a separate dogtag ticket (which is currently being
worked
on) to restart existing dogtag instances when dogtag is upgraded
from
9->10.

In permissive mode, this upgrade works for me.

I was in enforcing mode but saw no AVCs. What is the ETA on fixing
this?


Within the next week or two, I need to finish the IPA merge database
patch first, and then co-ordinate changes with the selinux guys.



Sometimes I do get this error intermittently:

ipa: ERROR: Certificate operation cannot be completed: Unable to
communicate with CMS (Service Temporarily Unavailable)

Usually, waiting a couple of minutes clears this up. Perhaps we are
not
doing startup detection correctly. Ade mentioned that waiting for
ports
may not be ideal. How do we know if Dogtag is initialized?

Years ago we had discussed with Andrew and Matt creating a URI that
can
be queried to determine dogtag status. I don't think that ever went
anywhere.

Petr, this happens only on reboot, right?  And not on regular "service
ipa restart"?

I've now seen it happen right after a 9 → 10 upgrade.

Yeah, I remember this conversation - and even created a bug for it at
some point.  This went away because the mechanism you were using seemed
to be working.  The timing may be very different now with tomcat 7 and
systemd.  I'll open a dogtag trac ticket for this.

Ok.



Uninstalling failed because it tried to run pkidestroy and not
pkiremove.

I was under the impression that pkidestroy was the correct command to
remove an upgraded instance. I'll check with Ade.

I'll test this too.

The contents of the file passed to pkispawn should be logged so we
can
see exactly what was passed in.

Its a pretty big file.  You might want to only log the
modifications.
Or save the file somewhere.

Our logs are pretty verbose, so that shouldn't be a problem. I'll
put it
in the next version of the patch.

The question to ask is: would you need the contents of this file if
all
you got were logs and needed to evaluate why installation failed? In
most cases this is yes.

Up to you guys.  There is a patch I am working on in which I will be
logging the object that is being passed to the server from pkispawn.
That - and the diffs to the standard config file as I mentioned above -
will likely be sufficient to debug almost all cases.

Make sure not to log any passwords.


Thanks for the catch. Attaching updated patch that sanitizes the
passwords.

DOGTAG:

When upgrading using the dogtag-devel repo I had to specify
pki-tools.x86_64 otherwise it tried to install both 32 and 64-bit
versions (and failed).

I ended up running: yum update pki-ca tomcatjss pki-tools.x86_64
--enablerepo=dogtag-devel --enablerepo=updates-testing

We'll look into this.  I think I know why this happens.

What happens if someone manually upgrades pki-ca without first
updating
ipa? I think that pki-ca is going to need a Conflicts ipa < 3.0 in
it.

We can add that.

certificate renewal failed. I spent far too long trying to figure
out
why tomcat wasn't listening on port 9180 but failed. I think
9180 is
actually the old server, right? So another missing dependency on a
fixed
certmonger?

The best I could find was the certmonger error:

ca-error: Error 7 connecting to
http://edsel.example.com:9180/ca/ee/ca/profileSubmit: Couldn't
connect
to server.


I'll set the certmonger min version to 0.60 as per Nalin's mail.

Ok.

Is this cert renewal on a dogtag 10 instance?  Or the upgraded
dogtag 9?
If its dogtag 10, perhaps you do not have the certmonger version
that
has the relevant fix?  If its dogtag 9, then we need to figure out
whats
going on.  That reminds me - I need to file a bug to allow
certmonger to
talk to the newly defined dogtag ports.  Do you have selinux
permissive?

There is no man page for pkispawn/pkidestroy :-( According to the
FHS
these should not be in /bin but in /usr/sbin (not end-user
commands).

There is a trac ticket open for man pages for pkispawn and
pkidestroy.
We plan to complete this ticket by the time f18 is released.

We'll look into the location of pkispawn/pkicreate.

The output of pkicreate/pkisilent was really terrible and not
usable at
all so we didn't display it when failures occurred. It looks like
that
has been addressed, at least for the case where a CA is already
configured and you try to install IPA. Perhaps we should capture
stderr
and display that instead of the command-line of pkispawn? Again, a
man
page would help with the integration.

That may be a good idea.  Of course. thats an IPA thing, right?

Right, not a show-stopper for this but a new ticket should be
opened to
track it.

Thanks.

I tested a 2.2 -> 3.0 upgrade with dogtag 9 and it seems to have failed
to restart something:

[ post rpm -Uvh dist/rpms/freeipa*.rpm ]

[root@edsel freeipa]# ipa cert-show 1
ipa: ERROR: Certificate operation cannot be completed: Unable to
communicate with CMS (Service Temporarily Unavailable)

[root@edsel freeipa]# ipa cert-show 1
   Certificate: MIIDjTCCAnWgAwIBAgIBATANBgk
   ...

The apache log had this:

[Tue Sep 11 14:35:42 2012] [error] (111)Connection refused: proxy: AJP:
attempt to connect to 127.0.0.1:9447 (localhost) failed

worker for (localhost)
[Tue Sep 11 14:35:42 2012] [error] proxy: AJP: failed to make connection

So I'm gathering that dogtag didn't restart properly, but I'm just
guessing. It could have been the PKI-IPA ds instance too, I'm not sure
where to check.

I also noticed this in /var/log/ipaupgrade.log:

I'm not sure if this is related to this patch or not. If it isn't can
you file a new ticket on it, or add it the 2.2 -> 3.0 upgrade ticket?

rob

And to reply to myself, how do we imagine that upgrades will work?

Is it legal for someone to upgrade to IPA 3.0 and dogtag 10 separately, or do we expect/require it be done at the same time, or one first?

rob
