* Don't initialize NSS if we don't have to, clean up unused cert refsRob Crittenden2013-01-231-13/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | Check to see if NSS is initialized before trying to do so again. If we are temporarily creating a certificate be sure to delete it in order to remove references to it and avoid NSS shutdown issues. In the certificate load validator shut down NSS if we end up initializing it. I'm not entirely sure why but this prevents a later shutdown issue if we are passed the --ca-cert-file option.
* Internationalization for public errorsPetr Viktorin2012-09-031-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, we throw many public exceptions without proper i18n. Wrap natural-language error messages in _() so they can be translated. In the service plugin, raise NotFound errors using handle_not_found helper so the error message contains the offending service. Use ScriptError instead of NotFoundError in bindinstance install. https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/1953
* Use DN objects instead of stringsJohn Dennis2012-08-121-1/+1

This is implmented via ipautil.dn_attribute_property(). The only permitted types for a class attribute specified to be a DN are either None or a DN object. * Require that every place a dn is used it must be a DN object. This translates into lot of:: assert isinstance(dn, DN) sprinkled through out the code. Maintaining these asserts is valuable to preserve DN type enforcement. The asserts can be disabled in production. The goal of 100% DN usage 100% of the time has been realized, these asserts are meant to preserve that. The asserts also proved valuable in detecting functions which did not obey their function signatures, such as the baseldap pre and post callbacks. * Moved ipalib.dn to ipapython.dn because DN class is shared with all components, not just the server which uses ipalib. * All API's now accept DN's natively, no need to convert to str (or unicode). * Removed ipalib.encoder and encode/decode decorators. Type conversion is now explicitly performed in each IPASimpleLDAPObject method which emulates a ldap.SimpleLDAPObject method. * Entity & Entry classes now utilize DN's * Removed __getattr__ in Entity & Entity clases. There were two problems with it. It presented synthetic Python object attributes based on the current LDAP data it contained. There is no way to validate synthetic attributes using code checkers, you can't search the code to find LDAP attribute accesses (because synthetic attriutes look like Python attributes instead of LDAP data) and error handling is circumscribed. Secondly __getattr__ was hiding Python internal methods which broke class semantics. * Replace use of methods inherited from ldap.SimpleLDAPObject via IPAdmin class with IPAdmin methods. Directly using inherited methods was causing us to bypass IPA logic. Mostly this meant replacing the use of search_s() with getEntry() or getList(). Similarly direct access of the LDAP data in classes using IPAdmin were replaced with calls to getValue() or getValues(). * Objects returned by ldap2.find_entries() are now compatible with either the python-ldap access methodology or the Entity/Entry access methodology. * All ldap operations now funnel through the common IPASimpleLDAPObject giving us a single location where we interface to python-ldap and perform conversions. * The above 4 modifications means we've greatly reduced the proliferation of multiple inconsistent ways to perform LDAP operations. We are well on the way to having a single API in IPA for doing LDAP (a long range goal). * All certificate subject bases are now DN's * DN objects were enhanced thusly: - find, rfind, index, rindex, replace and insert methods were added - AVA, RDN and DN classes were refactored in immutable and mutable variants, the mutable variants are EditableAVA, EditableRDN and EditableDN. By default we use the immutable variants preserving important semantics. To edit a DN cast it to an EditableDN and cast it back to DN when done editing. These issues are fully described in other documentation. - first_key_match was removed - DN equalty comparison permits comparison to a basestring * Fixed ldapupdate to work with DN's. This work included: - Enhance test_updates.py to do more checking after applying update. Add test for update_from_dict(). Convert code to use unittest classes. - Consolidated duplicate code. - Moved code which should have been in the class into the class. - Fix the handling of the 'deleteentry' update action. It's no longer necessary to supply fake attributes to make it work. Detect case where subsequent update applies a change to entry previously marked for deletetion. General clean-up and simplification of the 'deleteentry' logic. - Rewrote a couple of functions to be clearer and more Pythonic. - Added documentation on the data structure being used. - Simplfy the use of update_from_dict() * Removed all usage of get_schema() which was being called prior to accessing the .schema attribute of an object. If a class is using internal lazy loading as an optimization it's not right to require users of the interface to be aware of internal optimization's. schema is now a property and when the schema property is accessed it calls a private internal method to perform the lazy loading. * Added SchemaCache class to cache the schema's from individual servers. This was done because of the observation we talk to different LDAP servers, each of which may have it's own schema. Previously we globally cached the schema from the first server we connected to and returned that schema in all contexts. The cache includes controls to invalidate it thus forcing a schema refresh. * Schema caching is now senstive to the run time context. During install and upgrade the schema can change leading to errors due to out-of-date cached schema. The schema cache is refreshed in these contexts. * We are aware of the LDAP syntax of all LDAP attributes. Every attribute returned from an LDAP operation is passed through a central table look-up based on it's LDAP syntax. The table key is the LDAP syntax it's value is a Python callable that returns a Python object matching the LDAP syntax. There are a handful of LDAP attributes whose syntax is historically incorrect (e.g. DistguishedNames that are defined as DirectoryStrings). The table driven conversion mechanism is augmented with a table of hard coded exceptions. Currently only the following conversions occur via the table: - dn's are converted to DN objects - binary objects are converted to Python str objects (IPA convention). - everything else is converted to unicode using UTF-8 decoding (IPA convention). However, now that the table driven conversion mechanism is in place it would be trivial to do things such as converting attributes which have LDAP integer syntax into a Python integer, etc. * Expected values in the unit tests which are a DN no longer need to use lambda expressions to promote the returned value to a DN for equality comparison. The return value is automatically promoted to a DN. The lambda expressions have been removed making the code much simpler and easier to read. * Add class level logging to a number of classes which did not support logging, less need for use of root_logger. * Remove ipaserver/conn.py, it was unused. * Consolidated duplicate code wherever it was found. * Fixed many places that used string concatenation to form a new string rather than string formatting operators. This is necessary because string formatting converts it's arguments to a string prior to building the result string. You can't concatenate a string and a non-string. * Simplify logic in rename_managed plugin. Use DN operators to edit dn's. * The live version of ipa-ldap-updater did not generate a log file. The offline version did, now both do. https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/1670 https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/1671 https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/1672 https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/1673 https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/1674 https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/1392 https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2872
* Use certmonger to renew CA subsystem certificatesRob Crittenden2012-07-301-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Certificate renewal can be done only one one CA as the certificates need to be shared amongst them. certmonger has been trained to communicate directly with dogtag to perform the renewals. The initial CA installation is the defacto certificate renewal master. A copy of the certificate is stored in the IPA LDAP tree in cn=ca_renewal,cn=ipa,cn=etc,$SUFFIX, the rdn being the nickname of the certificate, when a certificate is renewed. Only the most current certificate is stored. It is valid to have no certificates there, it means that no renewals have taken place. The clones are configured with a new certmonger CA type that polls this location in the IPA tree looking for an updated certificate. If one is not found then certmonger is put into the CA_WORKING state and will poll every 8 hours until an updated certificate is available. The RA agent certificate, ipaCert in /etc/httpd/alias, is a special case. When this certificate is updated we also need to update its entry in the dogtag tree, adding the updated certificate and telling dogtag which certificate to use. This is the certificate that lets IPA issue certificates. On upgrades we check to see if the certificate tracking is already in place. If not then we need to determine if this is the master that will do the renewals or not. This decision is made based on whether it was the first master installed. It is concievable that this master is no longer available meaning that none are actually tracking renewal. We will need to document this. https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2803

* Use information from the certificate subject when setting the NSS nickname.Rob Crittenden2011-07-171-8/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | There were a few places in the code where certs were loaded from a PKCS#7 file or a chain in a PEM file. The certificates got very generic nicknames. We can instead pull the subject from the certificate and use that as the nickname. https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/1141
* Make data type of certificates more obvious/predictable internally.Rob Crittenden2011-06-211-6/+110
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For the most part certificates will be treated as being in DER format. When we load a certificate we will generally accept it in any format but will convert it to DER before proceeding in normalize_certificate(). This also re-arranges a bit of code to pull some certificate-specific functions out of ipalib/plugins/service.py into ipalib/x509.py. This also tries to use variable names to indicate what format the certificate is in at any given point: dercert: DER cert: PEM nsscert: a python-nss Certificate object rawcert: unknown format ticket 32
* Change FreeIPA license to GPLv3+Jakub Hrozek2010-12-201-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | The changes include: * Change license blobs in source files to mention GPLv3+ not GPLv2 only * Add GPLv3+ license text * Package COPYING not LICENSE as the license blobs (even the old ones) mention COPYING specifically, it is also more common, I think https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/239
* Use newer API in ipalib/x509 and add missing import.Rob Crittenden2010-07-151-0/+1
| | | | The import was only used when running the in-tree lite-server
* Clean up crypto code, take advantage of new nss-python capabilitiesRob Crittenden2010-07-151-236/+52
| | | | | | | | This patch does the following: - drops our in-tree x509v3 parser to use the python-nss one - return more information on certificates - make an API change, renaming cert-get to cert-show - Drop a lot of duplicated code

* Use pyasn1-based PKCS#10 and X509v3 parsers instead of pyOpenSSL.Rob Crittenden2009-11-301-0/+272
The pyOpenSSL PKCS#10 parser doesn't support attributes so we can't identify requests with subject alt names. Subject alt names are only allowed if: - the host for the alt name exists in IPA - if binding as host principal, the host is in the services managedBy attr
