Moved from https://pagure.io/freeipa/issue/8231

In a recent customer case, IPA RA certificate authentication to pki-tomcatd was failing. It was quite hard to diagnose, but turned out to be that the IPA RA cert had the same serial number as the LDAP service certificate. pki-tomatd had already seen the LDAP certificate (due to ldaps connection). As a consequence, when it saw the IPA RA certificate with the same serial number, it rejected it.

(The duplicate serial number probably arose due to replication and/or range conflicts).

Update health check tool to detect cases of duplicate issuer/serial on IPA infra system certificates. It should load the whole set of relevant certificates on the host, and check for duplicates.

I'm going to close this as wontfix. Doing a sort of manual de-dup of the certificate server seems out-of-bounds for a standalone script. I could validate that all of the on-disk certs are unique but what are the consequences if they aren't, etc. I think this is beyond a health checker as this points to a deeper issue.

@rcritten rcritten closed this as not planned Won't fix, can't repro, duplicate, stale Apr 3, 2023
