Hello.
One of our clients, who wish to connect to our FRED server is having problems for managing
his connection. Also, I can reproduce their situation.
Most of our registrars use either the fred-client Python-based script, or the Python API.
And they can manage all their operations without problems.
In their case, they connect in a completely different way. They use a Java-based client,
and also they generated THEIR csr file. It was sent to us, along their key, in a zip
file). The csr file was appopiately signed, put in the proper place at
/usr/share/fred-client/ssl, so the certificate and key are present.
And here is what is odd. They can properly login (and us too using fred-client testing
that). But if you try to manage any objects at the creation, a Command failed is issued.
This happens with their Java-based client and also with fred-client, testing their
configuration, certificate and all.
And the odd thing is that any other client manages every thing appropiately.
Here is the fred-client.conf relevant part:
### Connection settings
[connect]
# Path to the directory with certificates
dir = /usr/share/fred-client/ssl
# Server name
host = 127.0.0.1
# Server port (default: 700)
port = 700
# File path of the certificate
ssl_cert = %(dir)s/<our client>.crt
# File path of the private key
ssl_key = %(dir)s/<their key>.pem
# Login username and password
username = <their username>
password = <their password>
As I said the login is perfect but not the object management
Any hints?
The certificate was signed using their key, but our CA.
Best regards
