Hi, 

  Point 9.1.2 in openca's guide describe how to setup dataexchange via
scp and public keys. While that setup may be ok if access to ca
webinterface is limited from localhost only, in other case private
key gets exposed via http. IMHO we should mention that home directory of
www user shouldn't coincide with apache's document root or protect .ssh
directory with <Directory> directive in httpd config. 

  Also it may we wise on RA machine in authorized_keys file, add CA's
ssh public key with "from" option to limit it's use from certain IPs
only.

  Best wishes,

PS: Am I too paranoid??? :)
