Regarding a posting recently on fedora-devel, I'm considering what would be involved in making the self-signed certificates that various RPM's install as part of their %post/%pre section (openssl, sendmail, mod_ssl, proftpd, cyrus-imapd, etc) be a bit more meaningful than just:
I think this is what /etc/pki/tls/openssl.cnf is for. You edit it and
set the *_default values and they are used for any openssl cert
operations.
Ok, so how about adding a command line option to kickstart and an extra (optional) screen to Anaconda that allows one to populate the fields for countryName_default, stateOrProvinceName_default, etc.?
The other thing that would be useful to have, but this is more of a packaging issue, would be to be able to re-run the %post/%pre scripts (or the idempotent sections of them) that generate certificates or otherwise network identity-derived configuration.
I think it would be useful for the packages doing this to break these
out into helper scripts that they install, and then call them from %post
instead of trying to hack up some kind of mechanism to re-run them
blindly.
Tell you what. If you can file a bug against anaconda/kickstart and submit a patch, I'll fix all of the packages %post scripts to install a stand-alone script and run that. The only tricky bit is some packages generate their certificates in the %pre section, before that script would have been installed.
