Tests EST fullcmc enrollment per RFC 8951 using a DS-backed realm with LDAP certificate mapping. Converts the configuring-est-fullcmc-example.adoc guide into CI steps: CA install with estFullcmcDeviceCert profile and cmc.response.useSimpleOnSuccess, EST install with fullcmc backend config and optional TLS client certificate verification, non-agent and agent user creation with NSS databases and LDAP cert mapping, and CMCRequest-signed enrollment via the /.well-known/est/fullcmc endpoint. Verifies three scenarios: non-agent with matching subject (pass), non-agent with mismatched subject (fail), and agent with arbitrary subject (pass).

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds a reusable GitHub Actions workflow for EST full CMC testing. It provisions PKI and EST services, creates non-agent and CA-agent identities, validates three enrollment cases, and collects diagnostics. The EST test workflow invokes it after the build job.

Changes

EST full CMC test

Layer / File(s) Summary
Workflow setup
.github/workflows/est-fullcmc-test.yml, .github/workflows/est-tests.yml
Defines the reusable workflow, shared container settings, Docker network, and dependent est-fullcmc-test job.
PKI and EST provisioning
.github/workflows/est-fullcmc-test.yml
Creates Directory Server and PKI containers. Installs and configures CA and EST, enables the full CMC profile and backend, and verifies the endpoints.
Test identity setup
.github/workflows/est-fullcmc-test.yml
Creates non-agent and CA-agent certificates, NSS databases, LDAP identities, and EST Users group memberships.
Enrollment validation and cleanup
.github/workflows/est-fullcmc-test.yml
Tests matching-subject, mismatched-subject, and arbitrary-subject enrollment. Tears down services and collects logs and debug data.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to bd765

The new CI pipeline can fail to execute certificate setup, reject valid enrollment results because of subject formatting, and expose a runner command-injection risk through shell-expanded image configuration. These concrete workflow issues should be fixed before merging.

Prevent shell injection from DS_IMAGE.

Line 35 substitutes the GitHub expression before Bash parses the command. A modified repository variable can then add shell syntax and execute commands on the runner. Expand the already-defined environment variable as one quoted argument instead. GitHub documents this expression-substitution injection risk. (docs.github.com)

🌐 Web query:

OpenSSL x509 -subject default nameopt space_eq RFC2253 output format

💡 Result:

In OpenSSL, the nameopt option space_eq is a flag that instructs the software to place spaces around the equals sign (=) character when displaying X.509 Distinguished Names [1][2][3]. When space_eq is enabled (or included in a format string), the output will appear as field = value, whereas without it, the output appears as field=value [4]. Regarding the relationship between RFC2253 and space_eq: 1. Standard RFC2253 Compliance: The RFC2253 output format in OpenSSL is designed to strictly adhere to the formatting requirements of RFC 2253 [5][1][6]. By definition, this format does not include spaces around the equals sign. 2. Interaction with Name Formats: - The RFC2253 nameopt format does not include the space_eq flag [5][7]. - The oneline format, which is described as a more readable version of RFC2253, does explicitly include the space_eq flag [1][2][8]. - If you are using the RFC2253 format and wish to include spaces around the equals sign, you must manually enable it by combining the flags, such as -nameopt RFC2253,space_eq [2][3]. Technically, the space_eq flag corresponds to the bitmask XN_FLAG_SPC_EQ (defined as (1 << 23)) in the OpenSSL source code [5][7]. When this bit is set, the underlying print function switches from using an equals character ("=") to using a spaced equals string (" = ") when separating field names and their values [4].

Citations:


Use RFC2253 subject formatting in both assertions.

The default openssl x509 -subject format emits subject=CN = ..., but both expected files require subject=CN=.... Add -nameopt RFC2253 to both commands at lines 344 and 432.

457-488: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Collect the debug logs before the teardown steps.

pkidestroy removes the subsystem directories, including /var/lib/pki/pki-tomcat/logs/ca and /var/lib/pki/pki-tomcat/logs/est. The log steps at lines 480-488 then match no files. find -exec cat returns 0 with no matches, so the logs disappear without any error.

Move the CA and EST debug log steps above "Remove EST".

Assert the exact rejection status code.

! grep -q 200 output also passes when curl cannot reach the server and reports 000. The test then succeeds without exercising the authorization path. .github/workflows/est-ds-realm-test.yml asserts 403 for the equivalent case.

♻️ Proposed change
-          # Should NOT return 200 - non-agent cannot request mismatched subject
-          ! grep -q 200 output
+          # Non-agent cannot request a mismatched subject
+          STATUS=$(cat output)
+          [ "$STATUS" == "403" ]

Confirm the expected status that EST returns for this case before you pin the value.
