Steve, the other reason I've been forced to move from x509 to ca
is that ca appears to be the ONLY binary program that can sign
SPKAC files.  Is there another way to do this that I have missed?

Hi,

How do I automate the signing of server certificate by a CA ?
without the following prompt:

(1) "Enter PEM pass phrase:"
(2) "Sign the certificate?"
(3) "commit?"




Use the 'x509' utility instead, passphrase can be entered via -passin there are no other prompts.


but this way you don't keep the index.txt file the all valid certificates generated, so it seems there's no way to automate the process by using the 'ca' utility, am I right?




Well if you need 'ca' you can try the -batch option.

Steve.
