#3466 [RFE] Support adding constraints to the IPA CA certificate at install time
Opened 11 years ago by simo. Modified 7 years ago

We should support adding constraints to the IPA CA certificate when the CA is created, so that admins can lower their liability about what certificates are accepted by clients.

Should the CA ever be compromised if it limits itself to only a handful of IPA controlled DNS names it can't be used to MITM users accessing external resources. In large organizations this might be necessary if IPA is allowed to control only certain internal subdomains.
