The RHEL package subscription-manager-rhsm-certificates provides most of the trust chain for RHSM host certs in the PEM bundle /etc/rhsm/ca/redhat-uep.pem. The file contains the root CA (Entitlement Master CA) and first intermediate CA (Red Hat Entitlement Operations Authority). It's missing the intermediate Candlepin CA that sits between the operations cert and RHSM end-entity cert for each host. Designs for upcoming features for Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console have launched VMs use the RHSM certificate for TLS client certificate authentication and Kerberos PKINIT. As an operational consideration, we need the entire trust chain. In particular, PKINIT requires the full chain on both the KDC and client. To address this issue, add the latest version of the Red Hat Candlepin Authority certificate to the redhat-uep.pem bundle. See also: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/HMS-1316

I don't believe this would harm anything. subman itself doesn't really need anything but the Entitlement Master, but I believe the Product team uses the full chain for verification. |
