Hi Mark,

 

I am using certutil and a pin file, but that’s only half of what’s required. The other half involves adding and/or amending entries in the local and adm bootstrap configs, in the global config database (o=NetscapeRoot), and some apache config. The latter tasks are simplified by using the console to enable SSL for the admin server (which does so by calling the sec-activate cgi), but that is a manual step and doesn’t lend itself well to automation. I have played a little with hand editing these files with success, which I can automate, but it’s fickle. Any upstream change could potentially break that, whereas calling the tool used by the admin server to configure itself would be a more robust approach (IMO).

 

The official documentation only has the manual approach via the console. No good for automation.

Please check this script:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/richm/scripts/master/setupssl2.sh 

Run it as 
# ./setupssl2.ssh /etc/dirsrv/slapd-INSTANCE

HTH

Hi,

 

I’ve mostly completed automated deployment of a 389ds cluster via Ansible. The final piece of the puzzle is the enablement of SSL/TLS for the Admin server.  From what I understand, I should be able to use the sec-activate tool to do this;

 

/usr/lib64/dirsrv/cgi-bin/sec-activate /etc/dirsrv/admin-serv on

 

What I can’t figure out is how to authenticate. When I run this, it prompts me repeatedly for Ënter Admin Server Administrator password:”. I have tried both the RootDN and ConfigDirectoryAdminPwd passwords, but neither seem to work.

 

Can anyone suggest what’s going on here & how I might get past it?

 

 

I have never used, or heard of anyone using, sec-activate to enable SSL in the admin server.  I suggest following the official documentation on setting this up using certutil and a password/pin file:

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_directory_server/10/html/administration_guide/enabling_tls#enabling_tls_in_the_administration_server

HTH,

Mark

 

 

Thanks,

Grant
