Description of Changes

This PR establishes the database architecture, UI, API and lifecycle for standalone X.509 certificate templates.

Manual test plan

Setup

  • Go to PKI -> Certification Authorities and create two CAs: CA-1 and CA-2.
  • Go to PKI -> Certificates and create two certificates to act as blueprints:
  • Blueprint-1 (Must use CA-1)
  • Blueprint-2 (Must use CA-2)
  • Go to Devices and create a device (test-device).

Template Creation and Validation

  • Configuration -> Templates and click ADD TEMPLATE.
  • Set Type to Certificate.
    • Leave CA blank and try to save.
    • Expected Result: Validation error stating a CA is required.
  • Set CA to CA-1.
    • Set Blueprint to Blueprint-2 (which belongs to CA-2). Try to save.
    • When opening drop-down for blueprint you'll only see unassigned and unrevoked certificates.
    • Expected Result: Validation error stating the Blueprint must match the selected CA.
  • Change Blueprint to Blueprint-1. Name the template Active-Cert-Template. Save it.

Device Provisioning

  • Add configuration for test-device.
  • In the templates field, add Active-Cert-Template. Save.
  • Go to PKI -> Certificates.
  • Expected Result: You should see a brand new certificate automatically generated for test-device. Its status should be valid (not revoked).

Active Mutation Locks

  • Go back to Configuration -> Templates and edit Active-Cert-Template (which is now assigned to an active device).
  • Change the Type to Generic. Try to save.
  • Expected Result: Validation error: "You cannot change the template type from certificate on an active template."
  • Change the CA to CA-2. Try to save.
  • Expected Result: Validation error blocking the CA change.
  • Change the Blueprint to Blueprint-2 (ensure you also change the CA so they match, triggering the active lock). Try to save.
  • Expected Result: Validation error blocking the Blueprint change.

Revocation on Removal

  • Go to the Configuration for test-device.
  • Remove Active-Cert-Template entirely from the templates list. Save.
  • Go to PKI -> Certificates and locate the device's certificate.
  • Expected Result: The certificate should still exist in the database, but its status should now be marked as Revoked.

Context Configuration Injection

  • Go to Configuration -> Templates, open Active-Cert-Template, and copy its UUID from the URL bar (removing the dashes so it is a 32-character hex string).

  • In the JSON configuration editor for the template, add a configuration block that references the certificate's UUID variables:

    {
        "files": [
            {
                "path": "{{ cert_<uuid>_path }}",
                "mode": "0600",
                "contents": "{{ cert_<uuid>_pem }}"
            }
        ]
    }
    

    (Note: Replace <uuid> with the actual 32-character hex string of the template).

  • Click Save.

  • Go back to the Configuration page for test-device (which has this template assigned) and click the Preview configuration button.

  • Expected Result: The variables should be successfully resolved. In the preview, you should see the generated path (e.g., /etc/x509/cert-<uuid>.pem) and the literal -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- text instead of the raw {{ }} template tags.

output.mp4

…1356

- Added 'cert' to TYPE_CHOICES.
- Introduced 'ca' and 'blueprint_cert' ForeignKeys with organization validation.
- Updated the clean() method to clear unneeded relations, require a CA for cert types, and validate that a blueprint certificate is not already assigned to a device.

Fixes #1356

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds standalone cert templates with CA and blueprint certificate support. Adds the DeviceCertificate relation for certificate generation, assignment, revocation, renewal, and configuration context variables. Adds API, admin, UI, migration, notification, hardware-change regeneration, and documentation support. Expands regression, integration, Selenium, and query-count coverage.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 0fb23

The PR adds certificate-template provisioning and lifecycle behavior, but invalid certificate relationships can currently fail with an unhandled exception, active generic or VPN templates can be blocked from valid organization changes, and device-change events may report values that were not saved. These correctness issues can disrupt configuration updates, so the PR is not merge-ready until addressed.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description includes the checklist, linked issues, change summary, manual test plan, and a screenshot reference. It does not explicitly acknowledge the Anti AI Spam Policy checklist item, but the required content is otherwise mostly complete.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Most linked objectives are addressed, including certificate templates, lifecycle handling, API integration, configuration variables, regeneration, tests, and documentation. However, the reviewable model and migration summaries do not show the required DeviceCertificate.auto_cert field from #1377, and TemplateAdmin uses autocomplete_fields instead of the raw_id_fields required by #1357.

Resolution

Add the required auto_cert BooleanField to AbstractDeviceCertificate, its concrete model, and migrations. Confirm whether ca and blueprint_cert must use raw_id_fields; if so, replace or supplement autocomplete_fields and add regression coverage. If the implementation intentionally uses autocomplete_fields instead, update the linked issue requirements before merging.

Full details: Ui Changes, Regression Test, Docs

Explanation

PASS. The PR changes the admin UI, JavaScript, templates, and CSS. The description includes a linked MP4 screen recording, which satisfies the UI evidence requirement. The diff adds extensive regression coverage, including Selenium UI tests and certificate lifecycle/API/admin tests. The new certificate-template feature is documented in docs/user/certificate-templates.rst and added to the documentation index, with related updates to templates and settings documentation.

Learning: In test migrations under tests/openwisp2/sample_config/migrations, verify scenarios where a swappable model (CONFIG_WHOISINFO_MODEL) is extended with extra fields (e.g., an additional 'details' field) to ensure compatibility and no errors when swapping to a custom implementation. This pattern helps confirm that extending AbstractWHOISInfo via a custom model works as intended.

Learning: In this repository, flake8 enforces E501 (line too long) via setup.cfg (max-line-length = 88) while ruff ignores E501 via ruff.toml. Therefore, use '# noqa: E501' on lines that intentionally exceed 88 characters to satisfy flake8 without affecting ruff checks. This applies to Python files across the project (any .py) and is relevant for tests as well. Use sparingly and only where breaking lines is not feasible without hurting readability or functionality.

Timestamp: 2026-01-15T15:05:49.557Z
Learning: In Django projects, when using select_related() to traverse relations (for example, select_related("organization__config_settings")), the traversed relation must not be deferred. If you also use .only() in the same query, include the relation name or FK field (e.g., "organization" or "organization_id") in the .only() list to avoid the error "Field X cannot be both deferred and traversed using select_related at the same time." Apply this guideline to Django code in openwisp_controller/config/management/commands/clear_last_ip.py and similar modules by ensuring any select_related with an accompanying only() includes the related field names to prevent deferred/traversed conflicts.

Learning: In reviews for the openwisp/openwisp-controller repository, do not propose changes based on Ruff warnings. The project does not use Ruff as its linter; ignore Ruff-related suggestions and follow the repository’s established linting and configuration rules. This guidance applies to all Python files under the openwisp_controller directory.

CI Failure Analysis

Hello @stktyagi,
(Analysis for commit 25f1a21)

  • Migrations Out of Sync: The CI build failed because the database migrations are not up-to-date. This is indicated by the error message "Migrations check failed! Models' changes not migrated, please run './manage.py makemigrations' to solve the issue!".

Fix: Run ./manage.py makemigrations to generate the necessary migration files and then commit them to the repository.

stktyagi added 2 commits May 27, 2026 01:58
Updated previous tests and added new tests for implemetation.

Migrations Check Failed

Hello @stktyagi,
(Analysis for commit a795e09)

The CI failed because there are unapplied database migrations. This means that the database schema is out of sync with the current state of the code.

Fix:
Run the following command to apply the pending migrations:

./manage.py makemigrations

The CI is failing due to transient infrastructure issues (not related to your code). I have restarted the failed jobs automatically (1/3).

In `@openwisp_controller/config/base/template.py`:
- Around line 252-253: The validation of certificate relations (calls to
self._validate_org_relation("ca") and
self._validate_org_relation("blueprint_cert")) is running unconditionally and
can fail on stale relations when the object is being switched away from the
"cert" type; restrict these validations to the cert branch so they only run when
the template's type is "cert" (e.g., wrap or move the
self._validate_org_relation(...) calls inside the same conditional that handles
the "cert" branch or after the type check that preserves/clears ca and
blueprint_cert), ensuring they do not run when the code path clears those fields
(see the branch that clears ca and blueprint_cert).
- Around line 304-305: The current check "if not self.config" coerces any falsy
value ([], "", False) into {}, bypassing BaseConfig.clean() validation; change
the condition to only handle missing configs by checking "if self.config is
None" (or equivalent explicit None check) so only absent configs are replaced
with {} and invalid/falsy payloads are left intact for
full_clean()/BaseConfig.clean() to reject.

Learning: In Django projects, when using select_related() to traverse relations (for example, select_related("organization__config_settings")), the traversed relation must not be deferred. If you also use .only() in the same query, include the relation name or FK field (e.g., "organization" or "organization_id") in the .only() list to avoid the error "Field X cannot be both deferred and traversed using select_related at the same time." Apply this guideline to Django code in openwisp_controller/config/management/commands/clear_last_ip.py and similar modules by ensuring any select_related with an accompanying only() includes the related field names to prevent deferred/traversed conflicts.

Learning: In this repository, flake8 enforces E501 (line too long) via setup.cfg (max-line-length = 88) while ruff ignores E501 via ruff.toml. Therefore, use '# noqa: E501' on lines that intentionally exceed 88 characters to satisfy flake8 without affecting ruff checks. This applies to Python files across the project (any .py) and is relevant for tests as well. Use sparingly and only where breaking lines is not feasible without hurting readability or functionality.

This pattern helps confirm that extending AbstractWHOISInfo via a custom model works as intended.

1565-1586: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

The docstring and test name no longer match the test body.

The docstring states the test covers "a DeviceCertificate with cert=None". The body now asserts the opposite at line 1582: self.assertIsNotNone(device_cert.cert_id). No row with cert_id IS NULL is created, so the cert_id__isnull=False filter in get_unassigned_certs() is never exercised. Removing that filter would not fail this test.

Create a genuinely NULL row with auto_cert=False so the regression covers the NULL path, and keep the assigned-cert row to also cover exclusion.

- Around line 82-85: Update both conditions in the DeviceCertificate clean logic
that access self.config.device.organization_id to also require self.config_id,

dereference a missing config.
- Around line 244-248: Update the select_for_update() call in the
active_device_certs query within the regeneration flow to use of=("self",),
limiting row locks to DeviceCertificate while preserving the existing
select_related("cert", "config", "template") and filtering behavior.

In `@openwisp_controller/config/base/device.py`:
- Around line 303-305: Update AbstractDevice.save() to resolve update_fields

- Around line 285-294: Update the prefetch logic in the configuration
transaction around device certificates to load both DeviceCertificate and
VpnClient, then derive each reverse relation name from its model’s config field

Learning: In Django projects, when using select_related() to traverse relations (for example, select_related("organization__config_settings")), the traversed relation must not be deferred. If you also use .only() in the same query, include the relation name or FK field (e.g., "organization" or "organization_id") in the .only() list to avoid the error "Field X cannot be both deferred and traversed using select_related at the same time." Apply this guideline to Django code in openwisp_controller/config/management/commands/clear_last_ip.py and similar modules by ensuring any select_related with an accompanying only() includes the related field names to prevent deferred/traversed conflicts.

Learning: In this repository, flake8 enforces E501 (line too long) via setup.cfg (max-line-length = 88) while ruff ignores E501 via ruff.toml. Therefore, use '# noqa: E501' on lines that intentionally exceed 88 characters to satisfy flake8 without affecting ruff checks. This applies to Python files across the project (any .py) and is relevant for tests as well. Use sparingly and only where breaking lines is not feasible without hurting readability or functionality.

Learning: In this project’s Python test suite (files under openwisp_controller/**/tests/), don’t require or request prose/inline comments that document the breakdown of query-count changes (e.g., assertions around template/DB query counts in helpers like _verify_template_queries). Treat query-count assertions as volatile implementation details that change frequently; review should focus on whether the test asserts the expected behavior, not on explaining the specific query-count deltas in comments.

Learning: When reviewing Python test files in this repository, avoid recommending inline comments that explain or justify `assertNumQueries` (Django query count) expectations. Query counts can change frequently as implementations evolve, and inline explanations add maintenance burden; the expected count should be understandable without added comment blocks.

Learning: When writing or reviewing tests that override pagination behavior via OpenWispPagination.paginate_queryset(), patch `view.pagination_page_size` (not `page_size`). The method uses `getattr(view, "pagination_page_size", self.page_size)`, so tests must set the attribute on the view to affect pagination. If the view class does not define `pagination_page_size`, using `unittest.mock.patch(..., create=True)` is intentional and correct because the attribute may not exist until patched.

Learning: When reviewing this repo’s Python test suite, treat changes to the *expected* query count in `assertNumQueries(...)` calls as routine test maintenance. If a PR updates the numeric argument (e.g., in `test_config.py`, `test_api.py`, `test_admin.py`, `test_pki.py`) and the test remains consistent with the feature changes, reviewers should not flag the increased number as a performance regression that requires investigation solely because the count went up; instead, focus on whether the update is intentional and the surrounding test/code changes justify the revised expectation.

Learning: When reviewing API pagination behavior in openwisp-controller, assume `OpenWispPagination.paginate_queryset()` allows a per-view page-size override via `getattr(view, "pagination_page_size", self.page_size)` (so `view.pagination_page_size`, if present, should affect pagination). In Python tests, it is valid to patch `pagination_page_size` on a view class even if the attribute isn’t declared on the class by default, by using `unittest.mock.patch.object(..., "pagination_page_size", ..., create=True)` so the override is available for the pagination logic during the test.

Learning: In test migrations under tests/openwisp2/sample_config/migrations, verify scenarios where a swappable model (CONFIG_WHOISINFO_MODEL) is extended with extra fields (e.g., an additional 'details' field) to ensure compatibility and no errors when swapping to a custom implementation. This pattern helps confirm that extending AbstractWHOISInfo via a custom model works as intended.

I can revoke an assigned standalone certificate from the PKI admin/API and the configuration remains applied while get_cert_context() continues exposing the revoked certificate and its private key. This early return prevents checksum invalidation, and the context builder does not exclude revoked certificates, so the device can keep downloading credentials that the operator explicitly revoked. Please remove revoked standalone certificates from get_cert_context() and still resolve their DeviceCertificate config here so revocation marks it as modified. Add a regression test covering both outcomes.

These autocomplete fields prevent organization administrators from selecting shared CAs and shared blueprint certificates. I reproduced this through the admin autocomplete endpoint: organization-owned objects are returned, but equivalent organization=None objects are omitted because the lookup uses CaAdmin.get_queryset() or CertAdmin.get_queryset(), not TemplateAdmin.multitenant_shared_relations. The model explicitly allows shared relations. Please make these two lookups source-aware so shared objects are available from TemplateAdmin without exposing them in the normal PKI changelist, and cover both fields with an organization-administrator test.

This model is swappable, but its reverse relations are not stable. The implementation hardcodes devicecertificate_set in base/config.py and base/template.py, and devicecertificate__ in x509_admin.py. A valid custom model with a different class name gets different default reverse names, breaking certificate creation and cleanup, context generation, status updates, and the PKI device filter. Please define stable related_name and related_query_name values on this relation and use them consistently. The sample model keeps the same class name, so add coverage with a swapped concrete model whose name differs.

This organization invariant is checked only when assigning the DeviceCertificate. I can later change the bound Cert.organization to another organization and save it successfully. The original organization's config still renders that certificate and private key, while the PKI object is now visible to administrators of the new organization. Please reject organization changes while a certificate is referenced by a DeviceCertificate, using a swapped-model-aware validation or pre-save guard, and add a cross-organization regression test.

I do not see a requirement to show CA and Blueprint Certificate in the template changelist. Issue #1357 requires these fields in the form, not in list_display. Please remove these two columns and avoid extra width and per-row queries. If there is a concrete reason to keep them, add list_select_related.

Issue #1361 requires these fields in the existing template API, so they must stay. Please update the existing list and detail query-count tests to use certificate templates with populated ca and blueprint_cert, assert both returned IDs, and retain the query counts. This proves the new fields do not introduce related-object queries.

This does not exercise the NULL case described by the test name and docstring because it asserts cert_id is non-NULL. Please create a pending relation by setting cert=None with QuerySet.update(), refresh it, and assert the NULL precondition. Keep a separate assigned certificate and verify it remains excluded while an unassigned blueprint remains available. Please also replace the docstring with Ensure pending device certificates do not hide available blueprints.

There's something wrong here. The var name suffix indicates that this should be a UUID, but if I am not mistaken Cert.id is an autoincrement integer field. So there's a discrepancy in expectations here.

P2 A valid blueprint may already contain either reserved OpenWISP hardware OID. The failure path is:

  1. Create a valid blueprint certificate containing 1.3.6.1.4.1.65901.1 or 1.3.6.1.4.1.65901.2.
  2. Create a certificate template with that blueprint.
  3. Assign the template to a device configuration.
  4. get_client_extensions() copies the blueprint extensions and appends the same hardware OIDs for the device.
  5. cert.full_clean() rejects the duplicate OID, so template assignment fails.

Please replace inherited values for these two OIDs, or reject them during template validation, and add a regression test.

P1 The active-template lock does not track organization_id. With a shared CA and blueprint, an assigned certificate template can be moved from organization A to B while it remains linked to A's configs; B's admins then own a template whose changes affect A's devices. Please include organization changes in the protected snapshot and reject them while active configs reference the certificate template, with a cross-organization regression test.

This is related to, but distinct from, #1459. #1459 covers moving a device between organizations and reconciling its assigned templates. This path moves an active template itself: organization B gains control of a template still deployed on organization A devices. Device-move reconciliation does not handle that transfer.

P2 A partial refresh resets every protected snapshot, including fields that were not refreshed. For example, after setting ca to a new value, refresh_from_db(fields=["name"]) leaves the dirty ca in memory but records it as the initial ca, so full_clean() no longer detects the active-template mutation.

No production caller currently partially refreshes a Template, but this is an actual stale-snapshot bug and is inexpensive to fix. Capture fields in refresh_from_db() and pass it to _set_initial_values_for_changed_checked_fields(update_fields=fields), handling the positional fields argument too. The existing mutation tests do not exercise refresh behavior, so add one focused test beside test_validate_cert_template_changes_same_instance_after_save rather than distorting an unrelated test.

P3 This refactor changed a fresh per-certificate dictionary into a shallow copy of a module-level list, so the nested extension dictionary is shared by every generated VPN certificate. Please preserve the previous isolation.

The existing helper is get_client_extensions() in config.utils. With no arguments it returns a deep copy of DEFAULT_CLIENT_EXTENSIONS, exactly what this call needs. Import and call get_client_extensions() here instead of list(DEFAULT_CLIENT_EXTENSIONS); this avoids a new direct deepcopy and keeps both certificate-provisioning paths consistent.

P3 This test does not verify API access control because it runs as the default superuser, who is allowed to access every organization.

Use a normal manager of organization A and try to create a certificate template for organization A with these values:

  1. A CA owned by organization B.
  2. A blueprint certificate owned by organization B.
  3. A shared CA and a shared blueprint certificate.

The first two requests must return 400. The shared values must be accepted. This proves that the API filters both related fields by the requesting manager's organizations, as required by #1361.

P2 The bound-certificate organization check runs from pre_save, after serializer and ModelForm validation. Updating the organization of a bound certificate therefore passes validation and raises an uncaught Django ValidationError here, yielding an API or admin 500 instead of a field error.

Failing regression to add in openwisp_controller/pki/tests/test_api.py:

  1. Create a device configuration with an assigned certificate template, then retrieve its generated certificate.
  2. Create a second organization.
  3. PATCH reverse("pki_api:cert_detail", args=[cert.pk]) with {"organization": str(org2.pk)}.
  4. Assert a 400 response with an organization error and confirm the certificate still belongs to the first organization.

The current code reaches the pre_save receiver and returns a 500. Add the corresponding admin form regression after moving the invariant into validation, while retaining the pre_save guard for direct ORM callers.

Gate the management_ip_changed signal on update_fields as well.

Line 404 now advances _initial_management_ip only when management_ip was saved. The signal on Lines 397-402 still fires from the in-memory value.

With save(update_fields=["name"]) and a dirty management_ip, receivers of management_ip_changed observe a value that was never written to the database. Because the snapshot is not advanced, the signal fires again on the next save that actually persists the field.

Apply the same field_saved pattern used in _check_name_changed and _check_mac_address_changed.

In `@openwisp_controller/config/base/config.py`:
- Around line 1120-1121: Update the Prefetch configuration for
device_certificate_relations in the relevant template setup to include
select_related("cert"), then change the iteration in the configuration status
update logic to use self.device_certificate_relations.all() so Django reuses the
prefetch cache.

In `@openwisp_controller/config/base/device_certificate.py`:
- Around line 146-151: Update DeviceCertificate.save so
full_clean(validate_unique=False) runs before _auto_x509, ensuring invalid
templates raise ValidationError before certificate generation; preserve the
existing atomic transaction and save flow, and add a regression test covering
DeviceCertificate.objects.create with a non-cert template.

In `@openwisp_controller/config/base/template.py`:
- Around line 353-371: Update _validate_cert_template_changes so the
protected-field comparison and subsequent validation only run for certificate
templates, while preserving the existing early return for new instances. Gate
the entire check using the template type, ensuring generic and vpn templates
retain their existing organization-change behavior.

In `@openwisp_controller/config/tests/test_config.py`:
- Around line 1085-1094: In the test setup that mutates cert_template.config,
call cert_template.full_clean() after assigning the files configuration and
before cert_template.save(), preserving the existing certificate-template
validation flow.

In `@openwisp_controller/config/tests/test_selenium.py`:
- Line 26: Remove the unused Notification model binding returned by load_model
from the test module, leaving all other imports and test behavior unchanged.

In `@openwisp_controller/config/tests/test_vpn.py`:
- Around line 165-184: Update test_vpn_client_cert_extensions_are_independent so
the mutation to cert1.extensions is persisted, then reload cert2 from the
database before asserting its extensions remain unchanged. Keep the assertion
focused on proving independently stored certificate extension data rather than
separate in-memory objects.

Learning: In this project’s Python test suite (files under openwisp_controller/**/tests/), don’t require or request prose/inline comments that document the breakdown of query-count changes (e.g., assertions around template/DB query counts in helpers like _verify_template_queries). Treat query-count assertions as volatile implementation details that change frequently; review should focus on whether the test asserts the expected behavior, not on explaining the specific query-count deltas in comments.

Learning: When reviewing Python test files in this repository, avoid recommending inline comments that explain or justify `assertNumQueries` (Django query count) expectations. Query counts can change frequently as implementations evolve, and inline explanations add maintenance burden; the expected count should be understandable without added comment blocks.

Timestamp: 2026-06-07T12:07:25.164Z
Learning: When reviewing this repo’s Python test suite, treat changes to the *expected* query count in `assertNumQueries(...)` calls as routine test maintenance. If a PR updates the numeric argument (e.g., in `test_config.py`, `test_api.py`, `test_admin.py`, `test_pki.py`) and the test remains consistent with the feature changes, reviewers should not flag the increased number as a performance regression that requires investigation solely because the count went up; instead, focus on whether the update is intentional and the surrounding test/code changes justify the revised expectation.

Learning: Because OpenWISP Controller's DeviceCertificate model is swappable, do not rely on class-name-derived reverse accessors such as devicecertificate_set or devicecertificate__. In openwisp_controller/config/base/config.py, openwisp_controller/config/base/template.py, and openwisp_controller/config/x509_admin.py, define and use stable related_name values, and add test coverage using a custom swapped concrete DeviceCertificate class.

select_related() on the related manager bypasses the prefetch cache.

Django serves _prefetched_objects_cache only for an unmodified .all() call on the same lookup. self.device_certificate_relations.select_related("cert").all() builds a new queryset, so the Prefetch declared for device_certificate_relations in openwisp_controller/config/base/template.py is never used. Each configuration still issues one extra query during bulk status updates.

Move select_related("cert") into the Prefetch queryset and call .all() here.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Validate before generating the certificate in save().

save() calls _auto_x509() before full_clean(). _auto_x509() reaches _build_cert(), which reads self.template.ca and passes it to copy_ca_attributes(). If template is not a cert template or has no ca, copy_ca_attributes() dereferences None and raises AttributeError instead of the ValidationError that clean() defines on Lines 71-89.

This path is reachable through the ORM. DeviceCertificate.objects.create(config=config, template=<vpn template>) crashes with an unhandled exception rather than a field error.

Run validation first, then generate the certificate.

     def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
         with transaction.atomic():

-            self.full_clean(validate_unique=False)
             super().save(*args, **kwargs)

clean() does not read self.cert for the blueprint guard when cert_id is None, so moving the call keeps the blueprint and organization checks effective for explicitly assigned certificates. Add a regression test that calls DeviceCertificate.objects.create() with a non-cert template and asserts ValidationError.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Limit the protected-field lock to certificate templates.

_validate_cert_template_changes runs for every template type, and the organization check is not gated on the certificate type. A generic or vpn template that is assigned to active configurations can no longer change its organization, and the error text states a certificate-template rule. The docstring also states the method protects "cert-specific settings".

Gate the whole check on the certificate type so non-certificate templates keep the previous behavior.

Call full_clean() before saving the modified certificate template.

The test mutates cert_template.config and then calls save() directly. This bypasses template validation, so an invalid files entry would persist silently and the failure would appear later as an obscure rendering error. The rest of the suite validates templates before saving.

This test cannot fail; make the independence check diagnostic.

cert1 and cert2 are read from the database through separate queries, so cert1.extensions and cert2.extensions are always distinct Python objects. Django keeps no identity map. Mutating cert1.extensions[0] in memory therefore cannot affect cert2, and the final assertion passes even if the production code shares one default extensions list when it creates the certificates.

Persist the mutation and reload the other certificate, so the test proves the two rows hold independent extension data.

         cert1 = config1.vpnclient_set.get().cert
         cert2 = config2.vpnclient_set.get().cert

@nemesifier No confirmed functional blocker remains.

  • The PR is merge-clean, and all reported CI checks passed.
  • GitHub still shows CHANGES_REQUESTED because eight current review threads remain unresolved.
  • Most of these threads are stale. Their requested changes are present, or the concern was withdrawn:
    • M2M lifecycle handling.
    • Hardware OID extension format.
    • Documentation index and introduction links.
    • Certificate renewal configuration-status update.
    • Certificate context variable documentation.
    • Settings documentation.
    • Device-admin certificate visibility.

One verification item remains: confirm that /api/v1/docs/ and the DRF browsable API expose ca and blueprint_cert correctly. I have no direct evidence for that UI-level check. This is not a confirmed defect.

The unresolved threads should be resolved after the maintainers confirm the intended disposition.

Learning: In `openwisp_controller/config/base/device_certificate.py`, `AbstractDeviceCertificate.clean()` must guard every access to `self.config.device` with `self.config_id`. Django `Model.full_clean()` invokes `clean()` even if `clean_fields()` found a missing required `config`, so an incomplete `DeviceCertificate` must raise `ValidationError` instead of `RelatedObjectDoesNotExist`.

Learning: In OpenWISP Controller, `DeviceCertificate` is swappable. Do not use class-name-derived reverse accessors such as `devicecertificate_set` or `devicecertificate__` in `openwisp_controller/config/base/config.py`, `openwisp_controller/config/base/template.py`, or `openwisp_controller/config/x509_admin.py`. Define stable `related_name` values and provide coverage for a custom swapped `DeviceCertificate` concrete class.

Timestamp: 2026-08-12T23:29:03.745Z
Learning: In `openwisp_controller/config/api/serializers.py`, `DeviceDetailSerializer.update` must delete related `DeviceCertificate` rows when a configured device changes organization. Generated certificates are owned by the device organization, so retaining a certificate for a shared required certificate template would incorrectly retain certificate ownership from the previous organization. The deletion revokes the old certificate and template reconciliation provisions a certificate for the new organization.

Learning: For openwisp/openwisp-controller migration `openwisp_controller/config/migrations/0066_template_blueprint_cert_template_ca_and_more.py`, dependencies on `settings.CONFIG_CONFIG_MODEL` and `settings.CONFIG_TEMPLATE_MODEL` are required only if `Config` or `Template` can be swapped independently while `DeviceCertificate` remains in the default `config` app. This support boundary requires maintainer confirmation.

The referenced screenshot is stale: it shows the type as Certificate and displays a configurable Automatic certificate provisioning checkbox. The current form uses Certificate generator and hides that checkbox, which also contradicts the explanation immediately below the image.

Please replace the screenshot with one captured from the current form.

This says OPENWISP_CONTROLLER_DEFAULT_AUTO_CERT controls new certificate templates, but certificate generator templates always force auto_cert=True in clean() and save(). Setting this option to False only changes the VPN-template default.

Please document that this setting controls VPN templates only and state that certificate generator templates always provision certificates automatically.

This select_related() creates a new queryset and bypasses the device_certificate_relations prefetch prepared by _update_related_config_status(). Bulk template status updates consequently issue another certificate query for every configuration.

Please iterate over self.device_certificate_relations.all() so Django reuses the existing Prefetch queryset, and add a query-count regression with multiple configurations.

Using RESTRICT correctly protects generated and blueprint certificates, but the existing CertDetailView uses DRF's default destroy path and does not catch RestrictedError. Deleting either referenced certificate through the API therefore produces a 500 instead of a controlled client error.

Please handle this restriction in the PKI API with a documented 400 or 409 response, preserve the referenced objects, and cover both a generated certificate and a blueprint certificate.

This queryset later joins cert, config, and template, so PostgreSQL's default select_for_update() locks those related rows too. In particular, regeneration for unrelated devices sharing one template can block on the shared template row even though each task already locks its own device.

Please narrow this lock to select_for_update(of=("self",)) and retain the device lock that serializes regeneration per device.

This directly grants a model permission after _create_operator(), contrary to the current AGENTS.md rule requiring permission-controlled tests to use the default operator or administrator groups unless direct manipulation is explicitly justified.

Please use _create_administrator(organizations=[org1]) if its default permissions fit this test, or add a concise explanation of why no default group can represent this case.

This setup mutates certificate-template configuration and saves it without running template validation. That permits an invalid files entry to be persisted and can turn a setup error into an unrelated rendering failure later in the test.

Please call cert_template.full_clean() before saving the modified template.

This test does not execute the cleanup it is meant to verify. manage_device_certs() defers the post_clear cleanup with transaction.on_commit(), while Django TestCase rolls back its outer transaction without running that callback. A callback that revoked the surviving certificate would therefore not fail this regression.

Please execute the reorder inside captureOnCommitCallbacks(execute=True) before asserting certificate identity and revocation state.

get_queryset() accepts these source-field parameters on every admin route, not only the autocomplete endpoint. An organization administrator can append ?app_label=config&model_name=template&field_name=ca to a CA changelist, change, or delete URL and make the object lookup include shared CAs. The equivalent blueprint_cert parameters expose shared certificates. Since the standard permission checks are model-level, this can allow shared PKI objects to be changed, moved, or deleted outside the tenant-scoped queryset.

Please restrict the unscoped branch to the actual admin:autocomplete route, verify permission on the source admin, and add regressions for forged changelist, change, and delete requests.

The newly added PUT, PATCH, renew, and revoke tests duplicate the existing methods in TestTransactionPkiApi; only the expected query counts differ. They do not exercise a distinct certificate-template outcome and duplicate expensive PKI setup and maintenance.

Please keep the existing transaction-level coverage and the new bound-certificate organization regression, and remove these four duplicate methods unless there is a specific behavioral distinction to assert.
