can't install fog client 0.11.19 "Unable to install CA certificate"

[lebrun78]

Hello
I upgraded my server from 1.5.7.60 to 1.5.8 yesterday.
I can’t install my fog client using msi file.
I get “Unable to install CA certificate”
Could you help me ?

Arnaud

[lebrun78]

I tried with the smart installer and I got the same error.

[lebrun78]

I installed the client without the https.
After installation, I edited the settings.json file to enable https.
I get the following error in the log

@lebrun78 said in can't install fog client 0.11.19 "Unable to install CA certificate":

I can’t install my fog client using msi file.

Do you have other hosts with fog-client already installed from before the update? Do they still work properly?

Are you sure the installer script finished all the way to the end? Restarted the whole server after that (usually not needed but give it a try in this case).

Have you messed with the certificates on your FOG server at some point?

Please run the following commands to see if the certs are still fine - post output here:

grep -e pem -e key /etc/apache2/sites-available/*.conf
md5sum /opt/fog/snapins/ssl/CA/.fogCA.pem /var/www/html/fog/management/other/ca.cert.pem
openssl verify -verbose -CAfile /opt/fog/snapins/ssl/CA/.fogCA.pem /var/www/fog/management/other/ssl/srvpublic.crt

@lebrun78 Well, fairly clear. You seem to have a custom CA installed on your FOG server. While it’s fine to do it’s not supported by FOG yet and running the installer will mess things up. I am in the process of changing this but it needs a lot more work.

Please run grep "SSLC" /etc/httpd/conf.d/*.conf and post output here.

@lebrun78 DNS naming seems ok. fogus2* doesn’t exist and fogus* both point to the same IP which we see in ip a s as well.

But …

This obviously tells us there are other certificates in place. Ahhhh… I just remembered seeing some weird issue with virtual host naming on Ubuntu one day. I can imagine this happening to you here as well, maybe different but still.

port 443 namevhost fogus.istic.univ-rennes1.fr (/etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf:40)

Here we are I’d say. If you use hostname fogus.istic.univ-rennes1.fr you will be served by the certificate specified in ssl.conf instead of our fog.conf. I should have figured this out earlier, really.

Try using hostname fogus in your fog-client install and it should just work I’d say.

If you are really keen we can work through FOG’s certificate generation again and make it use the full qualified name instead.

[lebrun78]

Thank you for you answer Sebastian,

I should reinstall using : “./installfog.sh -W https://fogus.istic.univ-rennes1.fr -S” ?
I will wait for the end of the college year to resintall and generate a new certificate.

[Sebastian Roth]

@lebrun78 No, using the -W does not exactly do what you might expect it to do. The installer help text on this might be a bit confusing as the parameter should only be used to set the webroot - default is /fog/ - but not the whole URL as in your example!

Are you sure you want to use full qualified domain name from now on? I am just asking because one of the fog-client logs you posted shows that clients might use the short name fogus and they will break if you simply switch to full qualified, unless you edit C:\Program Files (x86)\FOG\settings.json on all those machines.

If you only want to go with full dns name I’d suggest you edit /opt/fog/.fogsettings and make sure the following three options are set correctly.

hostname='fogus.istic.univ-rennes1.fr'
webroot='/fog/'
httpproto='https'

Then re-run the installer without any command line options. That should re-generate the webserver cert and config for you (using the full qualified domain name). There should be no issue with the fog-clients being pinned to that server as the CA cert itself stays untouched. But as mentioned above you will probably need to change settings.json on all the existing clients.

The other option you have is to manually fiddle with the certificate stuff and add a second hostname (fogus.istic.univ-rennes1.fr and fogus). This is possible but needs manual file edit and calling commands and I don’t recommend it right now because the installer is not ready for it and will break your setup as soon as you run it again after the manual adjustments.

EDIT: Now that I think a bit more about it, we might even add short and full qualified dns name to the certificate by default in the installer as it might help others as well.
Give me a bit more time and I might add this to dev-branch in the next couple of days.

[lebrun78]

Thank you Sebastian for this explanation.
I actually use the short name but by default, I would have preferred to use the long name.
But the whole is currently configured as well, so I will stay on this configuration while waiting to update the posts with a new image at the end of the school year.
