Changed field: body Original value: """ Currently the NSS database in /etc/httpd/alias is installed with the system trust module enabled via a /etc/httpd/alias/libnssckbi.so symlink. This is problematic for a number of reasons: * IPA has its own trust store, which is effectively bypassed when the system trust module is enabled in the database. This may cause IPA unrelated CAs to be trusted by httpd, or even IPA related CAs not to be trusted by httpd. * On client install, the IPA trust configuration is copied to the system trust store for third parties. When this configuration is removed, it may cause loss of trust information in /etc/httpd/alias (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1427897). * When a CA certificate provided by the user in CA-less install conflicts with a CA certificate in the system trust store, the latter may be used by httpd, leading to broken https (https://www.redhat.com/archives/freeipa-users/2016-July/msg00360.html). Rename the symlink on install and upgrade to prevent the system trust module to be loaded in /etc/httpd/alias and fix all of the above issues. https://pagure.io/freeipa/issue/6132 """
