Well..in 20 years openca-0.9.7-RC3 probably will read your thoughts
and send a new cert to your skin implants the minute you notice
its running out.

ps: Dont bother with 20 years, your private key will probably be
broken by then, anyway. Go for some 6 years.

Thanks for the help, i will start a new CA as soon as posible. How
long expiration time should be ok for a corporate ca cert, 20 or 30
years?

Seems that verisign and entrust use 20 or 30 years for their ca certs.

Thanks again,
Jaime.

Hi Jaime,


Were is 0.9.2 as stable? i see it on snapshots but not in releases

We are moving the website and the whole management stuf currently - sorry... You have to checkout the Branch release vom CVS cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/openca co -r openca_0_9_2_0 openca-0.9

I hope we can release a tar file this week....


Also i cannot setup a new ca, because i still need to maintain issued
certificates, there isnt a way to maintain both? as is said here?

You have to keep two systems up and running, but you have to do so always, because you must keep your old keys to sign CRLs and process revokes (most applications require that the crl is signed with the same key than the certificate itself) Reusing the keys is a security riks and can lead to confusion with some applications when two certificates with the same key appear - the only possilbe solution (I know of) is to reuse the keys and issue a certificate with the same DN - but this is NOT advisable from a security point of view....
