[Freeipa-devel] [PATCH] 321 Move CRL publish directory to IPA owned directory

[Martin Kosek]

Currently, CRL files are being exported to /var/lib/pki-ca
sub-directory, which is then served by httpd to clients. However,
this approach has several disadvantages:
 * We depend on pki-ca directory structure and relevant permissions.
   If pki-ca changes directory structure or permissions on upgrade,
   IPA may break. This is also a root cause of the latest error, where
   the pki-ca directory does not have X permission for others and CRL
   publishing by httpd breaks.
 * Since the directory is not static and is generated during
   ipa-server-install, RPM upgrade of IPA packages report errors when
   defining SELinux policy for these directories.

Move CRL publish directory to /var/lib/ipa/pki-ca/publish (common for
both dogtag 9 and 10) which is created on RPM upgrade, i.e. SELinux policy
configuration does not report any error. The new CRL publish directory
is used for both new IPA installs and upgrades, where contents of
the directory (CRLs) is first migrated to the new location and then the
actual configuration change is made.

-------

We may choose to postpone this patch to later version, it is quite disruptive.
I can produce a hotfix in that case, which would only fix the permission of the
pki-ca directory.
