Adding KRA Agent
This document describes the process to set up a new KRA agent.
The default KRA admin is also a KRA agent. If the CA admin certificate was imported during KRA installation, the CA admin user can access KRA as KRA admin/agent using the same certificate.
As a Linux admin create a Linux user for the new KRA agent:
$ useradd newkraagent $ passwd newkraagent Changing password for user newkraagent. New password: ******** Retype new password: ******** passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.
As the KRA admin (or CA admin if the certificate was imported during installation) create a PKI user for the new KRA agent:
$ pki -n <KRA admin nickname> kra-user-add newkraagent --fullName "KRA Agent" ------------------------ Added user "newkraagent" ------------------------ User ID: newkraagent Full name: KRA Agent
Then add the new user to the Data Recovery Manager Agents group:
$ pki -n <KRA admin nickname> kra-group-member-add "Data Recovery Manager Agents" newkraagent -------------------------------- Added group member "newkraagent" -------------------------------- User: newkraagent
As the new KRA agent, prepare a security database:
$ pki client-init ------------------ Client initialized ------------------
Then generate and submit a certificate request:
$ pki client-cert-request uid=newkraagent ----------------------------- Submitted certificate request ----------------------------- Request ID: 10 Type: enrollment Request Status: pending Operation Result: success
As a CA agent (e.g. the default CA admin), approve the request:
$ pki -n <CA admin nickname> ca-cert-request-review 10 --action approve ------------------------------- Approved certificate request 10 ------------------------------- Request ID: 10 Type: enrollment Request Status: complete Operation Result: success Certificate ID: 0xa
As the KRA admin (e.g. the default CA admin), assign the certificate to the new user:
$ pki -n <KRA admin nickname> kra-user-cert-add newkraagent --serial 0xa ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Added certificate "2;10;CN=CA Signing Certificate,O=example.com Security Domain;UID=newkraagent" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cert ID: 2;10;CN=CA Signing Certificate,O=example.com Security Domain;UID=newkraagent Version: 2 Serial Number: 0xa Issuer: CN=CA Signing Certificate,O=example.com Security Domain Subject: UID=newkraagent
As the new KRA agent, import the certificate into security database:
$ pki client-cert-import newkraagent --serial 0xa ---------------------------------- Imported certificate "newkraagent" ----------------------------------
Verify that the certificate has been imported:
$ pki client-cert-find ---------------------- 1 certificate(s) found ---------------------- Serial Number: 0xa Nickname: newkraagent Subject DN: UID=newkraagent Issuer DN: CN=CA Signing Certificate,O=example.com Security Domain ---------------------------- Number of entries returned 1 ----------------------------
To use the certificate in the CLI, specify the new KRA agent certificate nickname:
$ pki -n newkraagent <command>
To use the certificate in Firefox, export the certificate and the private key into a PKCS #12 file, then import it into the browser:
$ pki client-cert-show newkraagent --pkcs12 newkraagent.p12 --pkcs12-password Secret.123
To use the certificate with Python client, export the certificate and the private key into a PEM file:
$ pki client-cert-show newkraagent --client-cert newkraagent.pem
