[Freeipa-users] SubCA for firewall appliance (CertProcessor: no profile policy set found)

[Djerk Geurts]

Trying to follow and adapt
https://frasertweedale.github.io/blog-redhat/posts/2018-08-21-ipa-subordi... for
issuing a Subordinate CA for a firewall appliance. For user VPN certs and testing SSL
Interception.

When I try to issue the certificate I get the following error:

ipa-admin@jmp0:~$ ipa cert-request ~/cert_FreeIPA_SubCA.csr --principal
host/subca-fw01.domain.local --profile SubCA --certificate-out subca-fw01.pem
ipa: ERROR: Request failed with status 500: Non-2xx response from CA REST API: 500. Unable
to create enrollment request: Policy Set Not Found

But the certprofile exists and I'm not sure what a `Policy Set` is...

ipa-admin@ipa1:~$ ipa certprofile-show SubCA
  Profile ID: SubCA
  Profile description: Subordinate CA
  Store issued certificates: True
ipa-admin@ipa1:~$ ipa caacl-show SubCA

  Service category: all
