Hi,
 
 Here are a error (or not finished script) and a bad feature (IMHO):

The error:
----------

 setup-simple-ca -subject "cn=Terapix CA, o=IAP, ou=Terapix"   is fine
 setup-simple-ca -subject "o=IAP, ou=Terapix, cn=Terapix CA"   is wrong

Country Name (2 letter code) [Terapix CA]:string is too long, it needs
to be less than  2 bytes long
Country Name (2 letter code) [Terapix CA]:string is too long, it needs
to be less than  2 bytes long
Country Name (2 letter code) [Terapix CA]:string is too long, it needs
to be less than  2 bytes long
Country Name (2 letter code) [Terapix CA]:string is too long, it needs
to be less than  2 bytes long
Country Name (2 letter code) [Terapix CA]:problems making Certificate
Request
Error number 1 was returned by 
   /opt/globus/bin/openssl

More funny:

setup-simple-ca -subject "o=IAP, ou=Terapix, cn=Terapix CA, c=FR, l=Paris"

leads to

A self-signed certificate has been generated 
for the Certificate Authority with the subject: 

/C=FR/O=IAP/OU=Terapix/CN=o=IAP/ou=Terapix/Terapix CA


The bad feature:
----------------

If you run simple-ca not as the globus user, then you are in trouble 
since this command wants to write in $GLOBUS_LOCATION. Why ? 
Why do I need to write there to make a CA ?


I use Linux + Globus GT 4.0.5.


Olivier.

ps: I made some scripts to make a CA and users and hosts keys. It works
    fine with GT 2 but does not work the GT 4. I use only openssl.
    If someone wants to have a look, please, you can fetch it at
    http://www.ricou.eu.org/scripts/GlobusCA.tgz (some french in it but 
    it should be understandable. If not, contact me).
