#1596 Resolve pkidbuser/subsystem user co-ownership of subsystem certificate
Closed: migrated 3 years ago by dmoluguw. Opened 8 years ago by mharmsen.

We created a user (pkidbuser) to be able to connect to the database using client certificate authentication.

The problem is that we chose to use the subsystem certificate for this
user, rather than creating a new system cert for db interactions.
There is, however, another user that has been created for the CA-DS
interaction which has the same certificate. This user is in the
trusted manager's group.

So, in this case, when the CA connects to the KRA and presents the
subsystem cert, we retrieve the wrong user (pkidbuser, which is not in
the Trusted Users group) - and the KRA-CA connector fails.

The simplest solution was to add the pkidbuser to the Trusted Managers
group, which was done in PKI TRAC Ticket #1595 - CA fails to authenticate to KRA for archival to address this issue.

However, this still leaves the problem that there are two "users" that share the same cert and could create maintenance confusion.

This ticket was filed to resolve this issue.
