Currently the pkiuser does not have a home directory. A home directory could be useful for the followings:

  • storing temporary files (e.g. password file) that should only be accessible by pkiuser
  • storing SoftHSM tokens belonging to pkiuser
  • storing admin certs and keys for PKI server instances belonging to pkiuser
  • storing systemd user services

Ultimately this will allow non-root users to run pkispawn to create a PKI server with limited privileges.

Create home directory for default PKI user
c2dd542 
The RPM spec has been modified to create a home directory for
the default PKI user if it does not exist. The home directory
can be used to store files that should be owned/accessible by
PKI user (e.g. SoftHSM tokens, systemd user services) so they
cannot be stored in root user's home directory.
