#5667 RFE: Certificate details view should contain some more information about the certificate
Closed: Invalid Opened by tscherf.

Reopen Issue

When using the WebUI to look at the details of a specific certificate, we should add some more information to that page. For instance, it would be helpful to add the storage location of the certificate.

Here is the use case:

  • user stopped tracking a certificate

ipa stop-tracking -i Request-Id

  • the certificate is still listed in the WebUI:

https://ipa01.example.com/ipa/ui/#/e/cert/search

  • at a later point in point, user wants to track the certificate again

  • looking at the details of the certificate in the WebUI, doesn't give enough information to figure out, where the certificate is actually stored on the file system or which NSS database is used.

Example:
https://ipa01.example.com/ipa/ui/#20

It would be helpful to list the storage location of the file in this details page to ease the process of tracking the certificate again.

This isn't possible because what a user does with a cert after it is issued cannot be known by the CA.

Also the tracking or not tracking of a certificate is unrelated to its status. It still exists on the user's system unless they actually remove it from the filesystem.

It may be possible to add some sort of hint field so the user can add whatever data they want about the cert, and potentially certmonger could set this at some future time.

The request is not to track the action an user is performing on a certificate. It's rather if it would be possible somehow to intercept the storage location from the cert request and store this info into a field within the WebUI. This would help to align a certificate entry listed in the WebUI to the actual certificate store.

Ticket triage result: this is not something FreeIPA should implement.
