Hello Flo,

and thanks again for your response. First of all, I've figured out that the package "pki-symkey" was missing, so I've installed it with yum. Now, according to systemctl, pki-tomcatd is running:

root@mat-ipa-master-1:~$ systemctl status pki-tomcatd@pki-tomcat.service
● pki-tomcatd@pki-tomcat.service - PKI Tomcat Server pki-tomcat
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/pki-tomcatd@.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)    Active: active (running) since Wed 2018-01-10 10:08:25 CET; 3min 55s ago
(...)

But, ipactl still complains that it is stopped:

root@mat-ipa-master-1:~$ ipactl start --ignore-service-failures
Existing service file detected!
Assuming stale, cleaning and proceeding
Starting Directory Service
(...)
Failed to start pki-tomcatd Service
Forced start, ignoring pki-tomcatd Service, continuing normal operation
(...)

As you suggested, I've checked the debug log /var/log/pki/pki-tomcat/ca/debug:
(...)
Internal Database Error encountered: Could not connect to LDAP server host mat-ipa-master-1.materna-com.de port 636 Error netscape.ldap.LDAPException: Authentication failed (48)
(...)

So, I've examined the config and the certificates, with the commands from the blog post:

root@mat-ipa-master-1:~$ grep internaldb.ldapauth /etc/pki/pki-tomcat/ca/CS.cfg
internaldb.ldapauth.authtype=SslClientAuth
internaldb.ldapauth.bindDN=cn=Directory Manager
internaldb.ldapauth.bindPWPrompt=internaldb
internaldb.ldapauth.clientCertNickname=subsystemCert cert-pki-ca
root@mat-ipa-master-1:~$ grep internaldb.ldapconn /etc/pki/pki-tomcat/ca/CS.cfg
internaldb.ldapconn.host=mat-ipa-master-1.materna-com.de
internaldb.ldapconn.port=636
internaldb.ldapconn.secureConn=true

Ok, we're using LDAPS.

root@mat-ipa-master-1:~$ certutil -L -d /etc/pki/pki-tomcat/alias -n 'subsystemCert cert-pki-ca'
Certificate:
     Data:
         Version: 3 (0x2)

         Validity:

             Not After : Sat Jan 13 14:45:00 2018
(...)

Interesting, I've reset the date to Jan 10th:

root@mat-ipa-master-1:~$ date
Wed Jan 10 10:05:49 CET 2018

So, the certificate is not expired, but invalid since it's too new?!
Never mind, going further:

root@mat-ipa-master-1:~$ grep internal /var/lib/pki/pki-tomcat/conf/password.conf | cut -d= -f2 > /tmp/pwdfile.txt root@mat-ipa-master-1:~$ certutil -K -d /etc/pki/pki-tomcat/alias -f /tmp/pwdfile.txt -n 'subsystemCert cert-pki-ca' certutil: Checking token "NSS Certificate DB" in slot "NSS User Private Key and Certificate Services" certutil: problem listing keys: SEC_ERROR_UNRECOGNIZED_OID: Unrecognized Object Identifier.

Do you have an idea why the key for this OID cannot be found?


Hi,

let's not focus on this issue and try to check what went wrong. Can you compare the content of the certificate field in uid=pkidbuser,ou=people,o=ipaca and the blob that can be seen with:
certutil -L -d /etc/pki/pki-tomcat/alias -n 'subsystemCert cert-pki-ca' -a

This one is often the culprit, linked to SElinux issues. By the way, did you check if there were any AVC?

Flo
Thanks, and best regards from Germany,

Harald

Hello Flo,

thanks for your answer, and for the explanation of the certutil output. I have tried your suggestion, first with sudo:

hhuseman@mat-ipa-master-1:~$ sudo kinit -kt /etc/krb5.keytab
[sudo] password for hhuseman:
Sorry, try again.
[sudo] password for hhuseman:
Sorry, try again.
[sudo] password for hhuseman:
sudo: 2 incorrect password attempts

I'm quite sure my password is correct, so it seems there's something broken here also, since sudo worked before the certificate update. My next try was running the command as root:

hhuseman@mat-ipa-master-1:~$ su -
Password:
root@mat-ipa-master-1:~$ kinit -kt /etc/krb5.keytab
root@mat-ipa-master-1:~$ exit
logout

As you see, there is no output at all, so I tried it again with -V:

root@mat-ipa-master-1:~$ kinit -V -kt /etc/krb5.keytab

Using principal: host/mat-ipa-master-1.materna-com...@materna-com.de

root@mat-ipa-master-1:~$

I have also re-checked the certificate which is issued by the HTTPS-Server in my browser, it is still the old one.
And, I've tried to get the list of certificates with ipa-getcert:

root@mat-ipa-master-1:~$ ipa-getcert list

         track: yes
         auto-renew: yes

Interesting, since the date was still reset to January 11th, so, even the old certificate should be valid:
root@mat-ipa-master-1:~$ date
Thu Jan 11 05:22:21 CET 2018

Nevertheless, I've set the date to actual time by sync'ing it to our NTP-Server:

root@mat-ipa-master-1:~$ ntpdate omcix
24 Jan 19:09:00 ntpdate[32699]: step time server 172.30.96.6 offset 1172766.789568 sec
root@mat-ipa-master-1:~$ date
Wed Jan 24 19:09:06 CET 2018

But, ipa-getcert list is still falling:

root@mat-ipa-master-1:~$ ipa-getcert list
Number of certificates and requests being tracked: 5.
Request ID '20170303080146':
         status: NEED_TO_SUBMIT

         post-save command: /usr/libexec/ipa/certmonger/restart_dirsrv MATERNA-COM-DE
         track: yes
         auto-renew: yes
root@mat-ipa-master-1:~$

To ensure everything's running I've issued an ipactl:

root@mat-ipa-master-1:~$ ipactl status
Directory Service: RUNNING
krb5kdc Service: RUNNING
kadmin Service: RUNNING
ipa_memcached Service: RUNNING
httpd Service: RUNNING
ipa-custodia Service: RUNNING
pki-tomcatd Service: STOPPED
ipa-otpd Service: RUNNING
ipa: INFO: The ipactl command was successful
root@mat-ipa-master-1:~$

So it seems everything's ok except of the PKI, I've tried to restart it, but it fails:

root@mat-ipa-master-1:~$ ipactl start pki-tomcatd
You must specify one action
root@mat-ipa-master-1:~$ ipactl start
Existing service file detected!

Shutting down
Hint: You can use --ignore-service-failure option for forced start in case that a non-critical service failed
Aborting ipactl
root@mat-ipa-master-1:~$

I hope this helps to track down the problem a bit...

pki-tomcat may fail to start if it's unable to authenticate to the LDAP server (LDAP is used as data store by pki-tomcat, and authentication is done with the cert 'subsystemCert cert-pki-ca' that is stored in /etc/pki/pki-tomcat/alias).

You will need to check if this cert is still valid. Sometimes during renewal, the cert properly gets downloaded to the NSS db /etc/pki/pki-tomcat/alias but is not propagated to the LDAP server. You need to compare the cert in the NSS DB and the value for the ldap entry uid=pkidbuser,ou=people,o=ipaca. More information can be found in this blog:https://floblanc.wordpress.com/2017/09/11/troubleshooting-freeipa-pki-tomcatd-fails-to-start/

But before jumping to the conclusion, please read pki-tomcat logs in /var/log/pki/pki-tomcat/ca/debug and check if the issue is indeed coming from an expired subsystemCert cert-pki-ca certificate.

Flo
Many thanks and regards from Germany,

Harald
