#689 Unable to add KRA users to a group using CA admin cert
Closed: Invalid None Opened 10 years ago by lsunkara.

Created users for KRA subsystem using "-t kra" option and using CA admin certificate. But unable to add a user to a group.
Note: KRA and CA are in the same instance.

Following explains the steps in CLI:

List of users :
pki -d /tmp/tmp.N0YVPa7edJ/nssdb -n "PKI Administrator for rhts.eng.bos.redhat.com" -c Password -t kra user-find


4 user(s) matched

User ID: kraadmin
Full name: kraadmin

User ID: CA-nec-em19.rhts.eng.bos.redhat.com-8443
Full name: CA-nec-em19.rhts.eng.bos.redhat.com-8443

User ID: pkidbuser
Full name: pkidbuser

User ID: KRA_adminV
Full name: KRA_Admin_ValidCert


Number of entries returned 4

Add user "KRA_adminV" to group "Administrators" group using -t option and CA admin cert:

pki -d /tmp/tmp.N0YVPa7edJ/nssdb -n "PKI Administrator for rhts.eng.bos.redhat.com" -c Password -t kra group-add-member Administrators KRA_adminV
PKIException: CertProcessor: authority is null


I basically tested this on an x86_64 Fedora 20 machine (e. g. - fedora20.example.com) using a CA and KRA installed to the same default '/var/lib/pki/pki-tomcat' directory. I copied the client databases from my Firefox browser to the '/tmp/client_db' directory; the databases contained the following data:

# certutil -d /tmp/client_db -L

Certificate Nickname                                  Trust Attributes
                                                      SSL,S/MIME,JAR/XPI

fedora20.example.com                                  ,,   
CA Signing Certificate - example.com Security Domain  CT,C,C
VeriSign Class 3 Secure Server CA - G3                ,,   
DigiCert High Assurance EV CA-1                       ,,   
Google Internet Authority G2                          ,,   
PKI Administrator for example.com                     u,u,u

I then ran the following commands:

# pki -d /tmp/client_db -n "PKI Administrator for example.com" -t kra user-find

-----------------
3 user(s) matched

  User ID: kraadmin

  Full name: Foo Bar

# pki -d /tmp/client_db -n "PKI Administrator for example.com" -t kra user-find

# pki -d /tmp/client_db -n "PKI Administrator for example.com" -t kra group-find

# pki -d /tmp/client_db -n "PKI Administrator for example.com" -t kra group-member-find Administrators

-------------------------
1 group member(s) matched
-------------------------
  User: kraadmin
----------------------------
Number of entries returned 1
----------------------------

# pki -d /tmp/client_db -n "PKI Administrator for example.com" -t kra group-member-add Administrators foobar

---------------------------

-------------------------
2 group member(s) matched
-------------------------
  User: kraadmin

  User: foobar
----------------------------
Number of entries returned 2
----------------------------

As can be seen, no exception was thrown.

NOTE:  I used the 'group-member-add' command, and not the invalid
       'group-add-member' command originally documented in the ticket,
       although using the invalid command no longer throws an exception,
       but currently displays the following error:

           # pki -d /tmp/client_db -n "PKI Administrator for example.com"
           -t kra group-add-member Administrators foobar 
           Error: Missing required option: description
           usage: group-add <Group ID> [OPTIONS...]
               --description <description>   Description

While I suspect that this ticket may have been fixed by other changes, I am closing this ticket as WORKSFORME.

Please retest this issue, and feel free to re-open this ticket if your issue is still not fixed.
