This helps - thanks a lot

I guess in the current version of OpenCA i can choose in a CertReq beetwen MS IE and
Netscape specific Types but not between the kind of Cert ( encrypting or signing or
ssl client or obj signing ). If i am right - is it in planning for the near future ?

Thanks and Regards,
Robert
