Installing KRA on Separate Instance - dogtagpki/pki GitHub Wiki

Table of Contents

Overview

This page describes the process to install KRA joining a security domain running on a different instance, possibly on a different host.

Exporting Certificate Chain

Dogtag 10.2 or older

The remote KRA will download the certificate chain automatically.

Dogtag 10.3 or newer

Dogtag 10.3 provides an optional offline mechanism to export the certificate chain and transfer it to the host that will run KRA before the installation begins.

Export the certificate chain with this command:

$ pki-server ca-cert-chain-export --pkcs12-file pki-server.p12 --pkcs12-password Secret.123

Copy the pki-server.p12 to the host that will run KRA.

Exporting Admin Certificate

The security domain's admin certificate is stored in /root/.dogtag/pki-tomcat/ca_admin.cert. Copy this file to the host that will run KRA.

Installing Remote KRA

Create a deployment configuration file:

[KRA]

# Dogtag 10.3 only
pki_server_pkcs12_path=pki-server.p12
