#2311 When pki_token_name=Internal, consider normalizing it to "internal"
Closed: Fixed None Opened 7 years ago by mharmsen.

On a couple of different occasions, users who have deployed Dogtag have overwritten the default value of "pki_token_name" with the value of "Internal" in their pkispawn configuration file.

The consequences of this action is that a password will be prompted for a token named "Internal" even though a password has been provided; the reason is that the soft token is named "internal" (the default value in /etc/pki/default.cfg), not "Internal".

While this could be documented as a common problem, alternatively, we could simply normalize the value of "pki_token_name" if and only if its value is "Internal". The only downside of such a choice would be that an "external" token such as an HSM could not be called "Internal".


Another option is to change the default value of pki_token_name to blank, so anything other than blank will be considered "external" token and does not require normalization.
