Hi,

I am new in this list and mainly a OpenCA user who needs some changes in OpenCA. After requesting a certificate using the "Token Request" link from the PUB interface, and then opening this request from the RA Interface, there is a "Generate Key" button at the bottom of the form. I was expecting, when hitting this button, to get the data inserted at the Pub interface when the request was made (at the PUB interface). And what I had was I completly empty form to make a completly new CSR which will substitute the one made before. If this is a bug, as it seems to be, it would be a pleasure for me to fix it, but I need help.

I haven't used this request type before, but if I am not mistaken the "Token Request" is just a simple stub for inserting raw request data. It does not generate keys at all, all it does is collect the required textual input from the user and insert it in the database: Some entity outside OpenCA must generate the corresponding SmartCard.

If you want to use SmartCards with OpenCA, you might want to use the Browser Request which should start a key generation on the attached SmartCard if the client system and browser are configured properly (PKCS#11 plugin).
