Hi,

if you are using OpenCA::DBI then you must not use any scripts. I just
start writing a readme how to initialize OpenCA if you are using a
SQL-DB. You can find the file on the ftp-server
(ftp.informatik.hu-berlin.de/local/OpenCA/) but it is not the README -
only the ideas.

The main trick is the following:

* install on the CA-machine the software for the RA too (install-ext)
* request a certificate via the public-interface (Role: CA Admin or RA
Operator)
* edit the request via the interface of the RA
* go to the CA-interface
* Requests -> PENDING Requests -> issueCertificate
* download the certificate into the browser via the public-interface
* export the certificate from the browser into a p12-file

This is totally outdated for OpenCA::DBI.

I want to handle this via the webinterface with a good README. It works
but the README is not ready for use.

OpenCA v0.9 use other names.

Which command or link do you use? I never see the Re-Building of the CA
Chain failing.
