Hi Dino

I am reasonably new to using OpenCA too.

It is my intention to use OpenCA as a small production CA for our internal
use for creating server and user certs.  Co can use it for personal email
certificates.  Of course, because your root CA cert will not be signed by
one of the "trusted" ca's your users and other recipients of your email will
have to have  your CA cert imported into their list of trusted CA's (on most
outlook you can tell it to trust certs signed by your ca always when you
read the first email message.  I have had problems sending signed messages
to someone who was using some less mainstream mail-client but haven't had
time to properly resolve that.

At first I looked at using the built-in DemoCA with a few perl scripts to do
the job (storing the certs in a mysql database) but OpenCA's huge strength
is the way that it   tightens things up procedurally so that when it is
brought into production the procedures for requesting, approving and signing
are nicely separated.

At the moment I have all three on one box which is not recommended, but the
intention is to run OpenCA as a proof of concept right now.  There are still
some problems with my installation which I need to resolve.

We have ldap installed but not yet working with OpenCA.  The other list
users may give you more info on your other questions!

Regards
Tim

Tim:
I'm new to openCA, but I am interested in its potential.
In what production capacity can openCA operate?
Have you been able to create personal e-mail certificates for OE or outlook?
what is the best way to distribute the personal e-mail certificates? I saw
you have openLDAP running. are the personal certificates stored there?
Any answers are appreciated thank you.
