#1214 Support multiple unrelated CAs in a Dogtag instance
Closed: migrated 3 years ago by dmoluguw. Opened 9 years ago by ftweedal.

A future requirement as articulated by dpal:

I see the architecture to be such that Dogtag would provide multiple CAs from one dogtag instance. In this single Dogtag instance there will be a "main" CA of IPA. It can be root or chained. There will be additional CAs. These additional CAs will be either independent root CAs, chained to some other CAs or chained to IPA main CA. In future may be even chained to each other. IPA would wrap this functionality and allow creation and establishing relations between these CAs.


Nathan Kinder provided a concrete use case:

Consider Barbican in OpenStack. Barbican is getting into
certificate issuance now, but it's quite likely that separate
tenants within a cloud do not want to trust each other. Barbican
backed by IPA/Dogtag could offer PKI-as-a-service, where each
tenant could create their own root and then issue certificates for
their services/applications within their instances.
