#1080 Clone CA fails join the security domain of the master
Closed: Fixed Opened by saipandi.

Closed: Fixed
Reopen Issue

On a single host, the set up is Master CA, KRA, OCSP and TKS under one instance and the Clone CA, KRA and TKS on another instance, there is also a SubCA configured on a third tomcat instance.

So, according to man page of pkispawn the security domain parameters are listed in the default section of the config file but the Clone CA still does not join the security domain of the master CA but creates a sec domain of its own as seen from the URL given for the Clone CA after execution of the command pkispawn.

Also although the SubCA need not join the security domain of the master, we tried making the SubCA join the security domain of the master but it created a security domain of its own.

I am attaching the clone CA config file for reference.

CLONECA config file
cloneca_instance.inf

Per CS/DS meeting of 08/04/2014: moving to Milestone 10.2 (August)

IMPORTANT:  Investigate whether this is a regression, or if
            cloned CAs always created their own security
            domain rather than referencing that of the
            Master CA.  Consider pushing this to 10.2.1.

I am doing a quickinstall where on one machine I install Master CA, KRA, OCSP and TKS on one instance and Clone CA, KRA and TKS on another instance and a SUBCA on a third tomcat instance.

The pki cli for security domain shows the clone CA as part of the security domain of master

The command I used was:
pki -U https://nu5.idm.lab.eng.rdu2.redhat.com:30042 -d /opt/rhqa_pki/certs_db -c Secret123 securitydomain-show

In this command I am checking the security domain info of master CA and which subsystems have joined the domain.

The output was:

The subca config file parameter, pki_subordinate was mentioned in the default section and it should be mentioned in the CA section because of which that parameter was getting assigned the value False (default value of CA section pki_subordinate=false). Due to this the CA was being considered as a root level CA. After the change the subca is able to join the security domain of the master as expected.
