Thanks for the laurels. Perhaps we should start a page to get an overview how widely OpenCA is used and for which tasks OpenCA is used.Sometime ago I was a reader of this list. I had a misson to implement our CA to delivery certs for our external clients to access our Mainframe's Systems through a telnet session (terminal emulator). The project was terrific, my bosses are very happy :-). Thank you guys for the excellent project :-).
Actual releases are available via our normal ftp-server and the most actual pre-RCs are available via ftp://ftp.openca.org/pub/openca/developers/bell/releases/. Please don't use 0.9.1-RC6 because I included some last minute bugs :(So, I used a snapshot of OpenCA from April, 19 2002, I guess. My CA Manager is 0.9.15a version. I know that there are many differences since I was following the project, for example, what the new version of OpenCA and where I can get it ?
Did you take a look at the OpenCA-guide. Really poor but LDAP is included (RC7 will support LDAP v3 but the option ldapversion is until now not documented in the OpenCA-guide) :)Now we want to build a full PKI enviroment, with digital signature support for staff people and a revocation list and more ... What I need ?!? OpenLDAP is required ?!? The project documentation is more accessible ?!? Where I can get latest documments for OpenCA ?!?
LDAP is only needed if you want to search with your browser for certificates or if you have some VPN-clients which needs LDAP for certificate- and CRL-retrieval. So it is a good idea to set up a LDAP-server. CRL-distribution you can do also via a http-server but please take in mind that several VPN-clients can only LDAP and HTTP but not HTTPS. So be careful if you configure the extensionfiles.
