Installing CA with Existing DS Backend - dogtagpki/pki GitHub Wiki
This page describes the process to install CA with an existing DS backend (i.e. userRoot).
Add a PKI top-level entry in the default DS backend with the following command:
$ ldapadd -x -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w Secret.123 << EOF dn: dc=pki,dc=example,dc=com objectClass: domain dc: pki EOF
Prepare a deployment configuration file (e.g. ca.cfg):
[DEFAULT] pki_server_database_password=Secret.123 [CA] [email protected] pki_admin_name=caadmin pki_admin_nickname=caadmin pki_admin_password=Secret.123 pki_admin_uid=caadmin pki_client_database_password=Secret.123 pki_client_database_purge=False pki_client_pkcs12_password=Secret.123 pki_ds_base_dn=dc=ca,dc=pki,dc=example,dc=com pki_ds_database=userRoot pki_ds_remove_data=False pki_ds_create_new_db=False pki_ds_password=Secret.123 pki_security_domain_name=EXAMPLE pki_ca_signing_nickname=ca_signing pki_ocsp_signing_nickname=ca_ocsp_signing pki_audit_signing_nickname=ca_audit_signing pki_sslserver_nickname=sslserver pki_subsystem_nickname=subsystem
To begin the installation, execute the following command:
$ pkispawn -f ca.cfg -s CA
Verify that CA is running with the following command:
$ pki -d ~/.dogtag/pki-tomcat/ca/alias -c Secret.123 -n caadmin ca-user-show caadmin -------------- User "caadmin" -------------- User ID: caadmin Full name: caadmin Email: [email protected] Type: adminType State: 1
