Hi,

I suceeded in installing CA server and generating CA and RA certs.

Now I am working on RA server installation. I tried to integrate LDAP with 
openCA in RA server. I realized few things:

To integrate/install LDAP on RA server with Apache, one must install 
mod_authz_ldap which can only be installed as a dynamic shared object (DSO), 
the version statically linked into the apache server is no longer supported.

I checked my installation of apache by using the command httpd -l in the bin 
directory of apache and did not see any mod_so.c file so i believe my apche 
doesnot have support for DSO modules.

As i read from http://authzldap.othello.ch/mod_authz_ldap.HOWTO

ONE SHOULD NOT TRY TO DOWNLOAD A BINARY DISRIBUTION FROM APACHE!!!
It won't work, because you have to modify the source code from mod_ssl.

Since i installed a binary distribution I cannot go a head with LDAP unless 
I redo everything by downloaded the source version of apache.

Q1>
I decided not to install LDAP for now on my RA. So my question is what all 
am i going to loose without RA?.

Q2>
I know that I cannot store the certs and serch for certs on LDAP. But can I 
still make use of RA server without much loss. Bascially I just want to know 
if anyone out there are working with RA server without LDAP (not in 
production environment ofcourse!).

Only reason for not installing LDAP is I have to install the module and then 
LDAP and then Apache from source.....and now I already have Apache binary 
installed with openssl and OpenCA configured and now i realzed that I need 
to make these changes..

Or do I no option than to install LDAP??


Q3>
I saw the following lines in online.conf and some other confs.

mailcommand             "/usr/lib/sendmail -n -t "

I am working on solaris. But when I checked it from command line I didnot 
find sendmail in usr/lib/ directory. So where do i get sendmail from. Can I 
download it from any site?

Q4>
Also in the online.conf I saw this lines
ImportDev "/dev/fd0"
ExportDev "/dev/fd0"

Now I want to change these paths to a directory rather than floppy drives as 
I donot have direct access to the server I am using. And i generally telnet 
to the server and work. So on the CA server I used Exported ALL command and 
stored all as tar file.
Can I place the tar file on the RA server and give the path to that 
directory in the above config file?

Can I then use the Import All command on the RA server (donot know if such 
command exists)

Q5>
And Will this make the online server move all the certs to where ever they 
are supposed to be on the RA server?


Thanks,
Pavan Sura.
