16 ipa-submit is the helper which certmonger uses to make requests to IPA-
17 based CAs. It is not normally run interactively, but it can be for
18 troubleshooting purposes. The signing request which is to be submitted
19 should either be in a file whose name is given as an argument, or fed
20 into ipa-submit via stdin.
21
22 certmonger supports retrieving trusted certificates from IPA CAs. See
23 getcert-request(1) and getcert-resubmit(1) for information about speci‐
24 fying where those certificates should be stored on the local system.
25 Trusted certificates are retrieved from the caCertificate attribute of
26 entries present at and below cn=cacert,cn=ipa,cn=etc,$BASE in the IPA
27 LDAP server's directory tree, where $BASE defaults to the value of the
28 basedn setting in /etc/ipa/default.conf.
29
30
32 -P csrPrincipal
33 Identifies the principal name of the service for which the cer‐
34 tificate is being issued. This setting is required by IPA and
35 must always be specified.
36
37 -h serverHost
38 Submit the request to the IPA server running on the named host.
39 The default is to read the location of the host from
40 /etc/ipa/default.conf.
41
42 -H serverURL
43 Submit the request to the IPA server at the specified location.
44 The default is to read the location of the host from
45 /etc/ipa/default.conf.
46
47 -c cafile
48 The server's certificate was issued by the CA whose certificate
49 is in the named file. The default value is /etc/ipa/ca.crt.
50
51 -C capath
52 Trust the server if its certificate was issued by a CA whose
53 certificate is in a file in the named directory. There is no
54 default for this option, and it is not expected to be necessary.
55
56 -t keytab
57 Authenticate to the IPA server using credentials derived from
58 keys stored in the named keytab. The default value can vary,
59 but it is usually /etc/krb5.keytab. This option conflicts with
60 the -K option.
61
62 -k authPrincipal
63 Authenticate to the IPA server using credentials derived from
64 keys stored in the named keytab for this principal name. The
65 default value is the host service for the local host in the
66 local realm. This option conflicts with the -K option.
67
68 -K Authenticate to the IPA server using credentials derived from
69 the default credential cache rather than a keytab. This option
70 conflicts with the -k option.
71
72
74 0 if the certificate was issued. The certificate will be printed.
75
76 1 if the CA is still thinking. A cookie value will be printed.
77
78 2 if the CA rejected the request. An error message may be
79 printed.
80
81 3 if the CA was unreachable. An error message may be printed.
82
83 4 if critical configuration information is missing. An error mes‐
84 sage may be printed.
85
86
88 /etc/ipa/default.conf
89 is the IPA client configuration file. This file is consulted to
90 determine the URL for the IPA server's XML-RPC interface.
