Hi Greg.

 Can you check the details about the agent-side certificate.

openssl x509 -in /var/lib/ambari-agent/keys/HIOSTNAME.crt -text –noout

I assume the signature algorithm is md5WithRSAEncryption:

Signature Algorithm: md5WithRSAEncryption

Ambari is generating this cert using a custom cnf file.

So to fix your issue, you need to edit /var/lib/ambari-server/keys/ca.config 
and change

default_md             = md5
To

default_md             = sha1

Then on each of your hosts, remove the cert files and restart the agent:

rm /var/lib/ambari-agent/keys/HOSTAME.*
ambari-agent restart

I think that this should be permanently changed in Ambari since md5 is no 
longer trusted.  Then again sha1 isn’t either, so maybe the default needs to be 
sha256.

I hope this helps,

Rob

Subject: openjdk update breaks ambari-agent 2-way ssl

We discovered a bug last night when our centos mirror updated openjdk and 
caused cluster builds to start failing.  This is in Ambari 2.1.1 but I didn't 
see anything in github to indicate that this code has since changed.  We 
tracked it down to the removal of the md5 algorithm from the list of supported 
algorithms in openjdk:

https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2016-0049.html

The ambari-server log (in DEBUG mode):

I looked at the agent code to see how it generates the cert, and it doesn't 
appear to be using md5:

https://github.com/apache/ambari/blob/trunk/ambari-agent/src/main/python/ambari_agent/security.py#L35

The openssl default *is* md5 but CentOS resets the default to sha256 in 
/etc/pki/tls/openssl.cnf:

[ req ]
default_bits = 2048
default_md = sha256
default_keyfile = privkey.pem
distinguished_name  = req_distinguished_name
attributes = req_attributes
x509_extensions  = v3_ca # The extentions to add to the self signed cert

I'm not sure where to look next.  I think this is an Ambari bug, but I'm not 
exactly sure how to fix it or if we can fix it via configuration somehow.

Anyone know this stuff well and care to chime in?  Or pull someone else in who 
does?

Greg
