Description

The three options:

ssl_ca_certificate
ssl_client_certificate
ssl_client_key

take pem encoded certs, which is base64 encoded, however when i use the bindings to pass them in, pulp throws an error:

{"ssl_ca_certificate":["The submitted data was not a file. Check the encoding type on the
form."],"ssl_client_certificate":["The submitted data was not a file. Check the encoding type on the
form."],"ssl_client_key":["The submitted data was not a file. Check the encoding type on the form."]}

this seem to indicate that they need to be uploaded as a multi-part form (as files)? I'd expect the bindings to handle this if it were the case, but i'm not really sure it'd need to be the case?

In addition, these options are not documented in the remote_file_file_create api, even though the api seems to try to accept them.

It looks like the serializer is not exposing these fields so the documentation and bindings don't mention any of these parameters. When the bindings work correctly, the user is supposed to provide a path to a file for each cert and key. The bindings do all the file handling to do the upload.

The FileFields on the Remote make this behaviour possible. However, they also produce paths to files as responses for a GET. The response should contain either the whole content of a key/cert or a digest for it. Users would like to be able to verify that the Remote is configured as expected.

Even though we will accept the keys and certs as strings, we will not be able to load them into the sslcontext from memory. Python currently only supports loading the certs from memory[0], but not keys[1].

Problem: ssl fields on remote are hard to use

Solution: switch all ssl fields to TextField

This patch switches the storage of SSL certs, keys, and CAs from filesystem to database. This patch also introduces a new serializer field that returns a SHA256 digest for GET operations.
