Adding TPS Operator
This document describes the process to add a new TPS operator.
As a Linux admin create a Linux user for the new TPS Operator:
$ useradd tpsoperator $ passwd tpsoperator Changing password for user tpsoperator. New password: ******** Retype new password: ******** passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.
As the CA admin create a PKI user for the new TPS Operator:
$ pki -n <CA admin nickname> tps-user-add tpsoperator --fullName "TPS Operator" ------------------------ Added user "tpsoperator" ------------------------ User ID: tpsoperator Full name: TPS Operator
Then add the new user to the TPS Operators group:
$ pki -n <CA admin nickname> tps-group-member-add "TPS Operators" tpsoperator -------------------------------- Added group member "tpsoperator" -------------------------------- User: tpsoperator
As the new TPS Operator, prepare a security database:
$ pki client-init ------------------ Client initialized ------------------
Then generate and submit a certificate request:
$ pki client-cert-request uid=tpsoperator ----------------------------- Submitted certificate request ----------------------------- Request ID: 10 Type: enrollment Request Status: pending Operation Result: success
As an existing CA agent (e.g. the default CA admin), approve the request:
$ pki -n <CA agent nickname> ca-cert-request-review 10 --action approve ------------------------------- Approved certificate request 10 ------------------------------- Request ID: 10 Type: enrollment Request Status: complete Operation Result: success Certificate ID: 0xa
As a TPS admin, assign the certificate to the new user:
$ pki -n <TPS admin nickname> tps-user-cert-add tpsoperator --serial 0xa ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Added certificate "2;10;CN=CA Signing Certificate,O=example.com Security Domain;UID=tpsoperator" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cert ID: 2;10;CN=CA Signing Certificate,O=example.com Security Domain;UID=tpsoperator Version: 2 Serial Number: 0xa Issuer: CN=CA Signing Certificate,O=example.com Security Domain Subject: UID=tpsoperator
As the new TPS Operator, import the certificate into security database:
$ pki client-cert-import tpsoperator --serial 0xa ---------------------------------- Imported certificate "tpsoperator" ----------------------------------
Verify that the certificate has been imported:
$ pki client-cert-find ---------------------- 1 certificate(s) found ---------------------- Serial Number: 0xa Nickname: tpsoperator Subject DN: UID=tpsoperator Issuer DN: CN=CA Signing Certificate,O=example.com Security Domain ---------------------------- Number of entries returned 1 ----------------------------
To use the certificate in the CLI, specify the new TPS Operator certificate nickname:
$ pki -n tpsoperator <command>
To use the certificate in Firefox, export the certificate and the private key into a PKCS #12 file, then import it into the browser:
$ pki client-cert-show tpsoperator --pkcs12 tpsoperator.p12 --pkcs12-password Secret.123
To use the certificate with Python client, export the certificate and the private key into a PEM file:
$ pki client-cert-show tpsoperator --client-cert tpsoperator.pem
