Hey to the List!!! I've been assigned to take over where a not-so-successful admin left off in Implementing the OpenCA architecture. I've done a bit of homework and understand quite a bit of the installation and processes involved. My plan is to scratch and re-install from the ground up, since we haven't issued and production certs; plus that's the best way to learn.
Below is a version list of the various components that are installed. I'm not sure what the former's problem was with getting this implemented, but it took him forever to go nowhere. I do not have that option. I thought I'd include the versions in case anyone sees any obvious mismatches. Once this is implemented, we will be using it for an application security scheme as well as being a long-standing CA, so I'll be glad to assist and collaborate wherever possible, although I myself am not a programmer or developer. My first question regards the levels and version of the components that are required. I'm a little vague on the snapshot idea. I noted that certain snapshots apply to the 0.9.x tree, but I didn't see a 0.9 release/download. Are the snapshots complete packages, or add-on's/patches? In short, what do I need to run to be on the ragged edge of stability without going too far out on a limb? Second question is regarding IE (ugh!). I don't use it much myself, but unfortunately many do. Is Netscape required to manage the RA & CA sites or can any other (IE/non IE) browser packages do it? What support is available for creating IE usable client certs for general use. Also, has anyone used an issued cert for use within an IIS server, possibly then using M$'s keymanger to create client certs? (It's been awhile since I did any IIS admin functions thank goodness, that aside, please pardon any ignorance on my part) Lastly, any knowledge share gained from stumbling on known or rare pitfalls would be helpful; I don't mind bruising my toes, but it's kinda hard to walk in a cast. ;) I've been on the list for awhile and don't see a lot of traffic. Are the other lists available as well? Thanks in advance for any help you can give!
