Bugzilla Bug 228932: Router Prints Abort Message when Downloading Certificate Chain

The Cisco router may sometimes print an "abort" message when trying to download the CA certificate chain from a sub-ordinate. This is only a warning message, and can be ignored.

Bugzilla Bug 236795

ESC : Security officer mode does not work on MAC OS X

Bugzilla Bug 236857

In the RA agent page, the RA attempts to retrieve revocation information for a certificate that the agent does not have the rights to see. This is not an issue at present and can be ignored.

Bugzilla Bug 224612: RA SQLite dependency errors on 64bit

It was determined that this bug was caused by a configuration issue on the machine that the 64-bit RA was being installed on. The "sqlite-devel-3.3.5-1" and "libsqlite-3.2.1-1" packages must be removed prior to installation of this component.

Bugzilla Bug 237042: Cannot enroll new token

This situation can arise if there are multiple token entries for the same user. You can resolve this situation by using the TPS agent page to delete one of the duplicate tokens.

Bugzilla Bug 237050: "File does not exist" errors

The administrator can safely ignore these error messages.

Bugzilla Bug 237251: No option to add comments to the revocation request

This is useful for agents if they are temporarily putting certificates on hold. This facility is currently only provided in the CA. It will be added to the RA in the next release.

Bugzilla Bug 237250: No way to cancel certificate revocation

There is currently no facility for canceling certificate revocation. This will be added in the next release.

Bugzilla Bug 236982: Serial number is listed as unavailable during certificate approval

This problem only occurs on the approval page. If the user views the request again, the correct serial number will be shown. This will be fixed in the next release.

Bugzilla Bug 235150: The start/stop scripts should check for subsystem presence

The TKS sub-system start/stop script currently does not check that the package is installed before attempting to execute.

Bugzilla Bug 237056: List certificates page should show the total number of certificates

On the Agent Interface of the RA, the List Requests page indicates the total number of certificate requests. On the List Certificates page, the corresponding information is missing. This will be fixed in the next release.

Bugzilla Bug 230914: AEP support in CS 7.3

AEP is supported in Certificate System 7.3, although it is currently not documented as such.

Bugzilla Bug 237305: SCEP: Fingerprint does not match for old request

The CA component in Certificate System 7.3 does not process SCEP requests that have been previously submitted. This can result in an error message similar to the following:

1706.http-9080-Processor24 - [20/Apr/2007:05:47:23 PDT] [20] [3] CEP Enrollment: Enrollment failed: user used
duplicate transaction ID.

To circumvent this situation, ensure that the Cisco router generates fresh sets of keys for SCEP enrollments.

Bugzilla Bug 234884: Phone Home UI pops up for both enrolled and un-initialized tokens on RHEL4 and MAC OS X

The Phone Home UI pops up for both enrolled and un-initialized tokens on RHEL4 and MAC OS X, even though the tokens contain phoneHome URLs. If and when the problem occurs, type in the phoneHome URL and proceed.

Bugzilla Bug 237353: RA: SSL connection aborts during List Requests and List Certificates

If the user clicks a link in the agent interface too fast and too many times, the server may return "Broken pipe: core_output_filter: writing data to the network" and terminate the SSL connection. Further access to the agent interface will require re-authentication.

Bugzilla Bug 233024: AEP configuration not added to everyone's profile

The auto enrollment proxy configuration is not added to everyone's profile. This is typically found to be a problem when configuring the AEP proxy on Windows child domains where the local administrator does not have permission to modify the cn=configuration tree in AD. The simplest workaround is to use the Run as .. option to authenticate as the "Primary domain controller's administrator" and to then try to modify the cn=configuration. This relates to the "Populate AD" option in AEP.

Bugzilla Bug 224994: CEP Authentication failures are not audited to the Audit Log

CEP currently logs any authentication failures during enrollment to the system log. These should log to the audit log.

Bug 238039: caDirUserCert profile incorrectly processes subject altname extension

The Subject Alt name extension in certificates that are issued using the caDirUserCert profile will contain variables in un-substituted fashion (for example, $request.requestor_email$), if the profile request does not contain values available for substitution. There is currently no known workaround.

Bugzilla Bug 238203: TPS: rhpki-tps instance name is hardcoded in cfg.pl

Because the instance name is hard-coded, the TPS looks for the configuration file in /var/lib/rhpki-tps/conf/CS.cfg

Workaround: if you create an instance name that differs from rhpki-tps, you need to modify the /var/lib/<tps-instance-name>/cgi-bin/sow/cfg.pl to remove the above-mentioned hardcoding.
