The private key is downloadable for the user if the certificate was issued by the CA and imported into the RA. The private key can only be downloaded from the RA-interface. It is not possible to download it from the public interface to avoid brute force attacks. The public key is part of the certificate. If you downloaded the certificate then you have the public key. private key on RA: certificates --> valid --> certifcate 123 --> download certificate and key Michael -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael Bell Email (private): [EMAIL PROTECTED] Rechenzentrum - Datacenter Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Humboldt-University of Berlin Tel.: +49 (0)30-2093 2482 Unter den Linden 6 Fax: +49 (0)30-2093 2959 10099 Berlin Germany http://www.openca.org ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Openca-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openca-users
