Setting up CA Database with LDAP Tools - dogtagpki/pki GitHub Wiki

Overview

This page describes the process to set up a CA database using DS with LDAP tools. It assumes that the DS database has been installed as described in DS Installation.

Initializing CA Database

To configure DS server:

$ ldapadd \
    -H ldap://ds.example.com \
    -D "cn=Directory Manager" \
    -w Secret.123 \
    -f /usr/share/pki/server/database/ds/config.ldif

To configure DS schema:

$ ldapmodify \
    -H ldap://ds.example.com \
    -D "cn=Directory Manager" \
    -w Secret.123 \
    -f /usr/share/pki/server/database/ds/schema.ldif

To add the base entry:

$ ldapadd \
    -H ldap://ds.example.com \
    -D "cn=Directory Manager" \
    -w Secret.123 << EOF
dn: dc=ca,dc=pki,dc=example,dc=com
objectClass: dcObject
dc: ca
EOF

To add the container entries:

$ sed \
    -e 's/{rootSuffix}/dc=ca,dc=pki,dc=example,dc=com/g' \
    /usr/share/pki/ca/database/ds/create.ldif \
    | tee create.ldif
$ ldapadd \
    -H ldap://ds.example.com \
    -D "cn=Directory Manager" \
    -w Secret.123 \
    -f create.ldif

To add ACL resources:

$ sed \
    -e 's/{rootSuffix}/dc=ca,dc=pki,dc=example,dc=com/g' \
    /usr/share/pki/ca/database/ds/acl.ldif \
    | tee acl.ldif
$ ldapadd \
    -H ldap://ds.example.com \
    -D "cn=Directory Manager" \
    -w Secret.123 \
    -f acl.ldif

Adding Search Indexes

$ sed \
    -e 's/{database}/userroot/g' \
    /usr/share/pki/ca/database/ds/index.ldif \
    | tee index.ldif
$ ldapadd \
    -H ldap://ds.example.com \
    -D "cn=Directory Manager" \
    -w Secret.123 \
    -f index.ldif

Rebuilding Search Indexes

Start the rebuild task with the following commands:

$ sed \
    -e 's/{database}/userroot/g' \
    /usr/share/pki/ca/database/ds/indextasks.ldif \
    | tee indextasks.ldif
$ ldapadd \
    -H ldap://ds.example.com \
    -D "cn=Directory Manager" \
    -w Secret.123 \
    -f indextasks.ldif

Wait for the task to complete:

$ ldapsearch \
    -H ldap://ds.example.com \
    -D "cn=Directory Manager" \
    -w Secret.123 \
    -b "cn=index1160589770, cn=index, cn=tasks, cn=config" \
    nsTaskExitCode

Verify that nsTaskExitCode is 0.

Adding CA VLV Indexes

$ sed \
    -e 's/{instanceId}/pki-tomcat/g' \
    -e 's/{database}/userroot/g' \
    -e 's/{rootSuffix}/dc=ca,dc=pki,dc=example,dc=com/g' \
    /usr/share/pki/ca/database/ds/vlv.ldif \
    | tee vlv.ldif
$ ldapadd \
    -H ldap://ds.example.com \
    -D "cn=Directory Manager" \
    -w Secret.123 \
    -f vlv.ldif

Rebuilding CA VLV Indexes

Start the rebuild task with the following commands:

$ sed \
    -e 's/{database}/userroot/g' \
    -e 's/{instanceId}/pki-tomcat/g' \
    /usr/share/pki/ca/database/ds/vlvtasks.ldif \
    | tee vlvtasks.ldif
$ ldapadd \
    -H ldap://ds.example.com \
    -D "cn=Directory Manager" \
    -w Secret.123 \
    -f vlvtasks.ldif

Wait for the task to complete:

$ ldapsearch \
    -H ldap://ds.example.com \
    -D "cn=Directory Manager" \
    -w Secret.123 \
    -b "cn=index1160589769, cn=index, cn=tasks, cn=config" \
    nsTaskExitCode

Verify that nsTaskExitCode is 0.
