#1643 Support for 'pki_instance_name' under [SUBSYSTEM]
Closed: migrated by dmoluguw. Opened by mharmsen.

Closed: migrated
Reopen Issue

It is very simple to override the /etc/pki/default.cfg value of 'pki_instance_name' in a PKI Instance override configuration file:

[DEFAULT]
...
pki_instance_name=foobar
...

However, it was recently discovered that if this value is attempted to be overridden by placing it inside of a [SUBSYSTEM] level block, an error occurs:

[DEFAULT]
...
[CA]
...
pki_instance_name=foobar
...

an error occurs as both '/var/lib/pki/pki-tomcat' and '/var/lib/pki/foobar' directories are created:

# pkispawn -s CA -f /root/pki/foobar.cfg 
Log file: /var/log/pki/pki-ca-spawn.20151009120308.log
Loading deployment configuration from /root/pki/foobar.cfg.
Installing CA into /var/lib/pki/foobar.
Storing deployment configuration into /etc/sysconfig/pki/tomcat/pki-tomcat/ca/deployment.cfg.
pkispawn    : WARNING  ....... Dangling symlink '/var/lib/pki/pki-tomcat/lib/log4j.properties'-->'/etc/pki/pki-tomcat/log4j.properties'
Installation failed.

A use case for this feature would be to allow for easier automation for deployments utilizing a large number of cloned instances.
