[Pki-users] will the new version of RHCS support RHEL6?

[Oleg Antonenko]

Hi Dmitri, Nathan,
Thank you for speedy responses.

Could you please confirm my understanding?


-          RHCS is going to be shipped as a part of RHEL7.x in the foreseeable future;

-          IPA is a free part of RHEL 6.x and will remain as such in the foreseeable future;

-          RHEL 6.x does not ship RHCS, but includes only pki-ca packages in order to support IPA.

Could you also clarify your point here ?

The CA portion in RHEL is not supported by Red Hat for standalone use without an entitlement for the rest of RHCS, which isn't available on RHEL 6

Does it mean RHCS is not free?


Regarding this -
We would be actually very interested if we can support this use case with core IPA.
Would you be interested in a conversation about this?

Yes, we’d love to.

Many thanks,
Oleg

Will it be included in the standard RHEL distribution in the future?

Dogtag 10+ will become a RHSC product on top of RHEL7.x

Some of its portions will be gradually included into IPA that comes for free with RHEL.
IMO full blown IPA is not that "full blown" in this case.

I’m asking because we’re planning to use the CA bit only for issuing certificates to mobile devices via SCEP. We do not require any other services or the full blown IPA…

With thanks,
Oleg

Hi all,

I'm a beginner of the dogtag certificate system, dogtag（RHCS）is a wonderful project, but I'm confused about RHCS, could you give any help?

The latest version of RHCS is 8.1, which is based on dogtag 8.1, it supports RHEL5.8, and in RHEL6, pki-ca 9.0.3 was included without the other 5 subsystems, could you show me the consideration why RHCS do not support RHEL6?
Is RHEL6 not secure enough or some other reasons？
It was simply not a targeted platform (nor are there plans to release it there).  The pki-ca portion is included for use by IdM (based on the FreeIPA project).

Thanks,
