I am a new user setting up 0.9.1 RC7 intending to deploy in a production
environment.  We are using dc=questra,dc=com for our base DN (as is
recommended by just about every document I can find on the subject for
modern installations) and it is a firm requirement that our CA's DN and
those of the any role accounts, and issued certificates, be in OUs of
this base.

However, it seems like the assumption of o=,l=,c= is pretty well
ingrained into OpenCA.  I find no reference to the newer dc= syntax
anywhere in the documentation and it seems to make assumptions all over
the place about the CA being set up to serve an o=,c= -style
installation.  I did find some vague references in mailing list archives
saying that it might be possible to use dc= bases but there does not
seem to be any concrete confirmation that this can work, or what about
the install/configure/initialization procedures would have to change to
accomodate this.

It does look like I can do things like set DN_TYPE_BASE_BASE and other
run-time config variables and possibly get it to do what I want, but I'm
not sure if the auto-LDAP might break or what else might stop working
because it makes assumptions about o=,c= syntax being used.

Has anyone done this before and could assert that this was entirely
possible before I go down this path.  Any comments on how feasible it is
to use this style or what special considerations must be made would be
greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
