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.
1. It works.
2. You have to do the following:
- fix the basedn in ldap.conf and online.conf (OPENCADIR/etc/servers, see details in actual OpenCA-guide)
- fix the ldap-URL in certsMails.txt (OPENCADIR/lib/servers/ra/mails)
- if you create the CA-cert then you must enter your DN at the last step when the dialog ask you to confirm the complete DN.

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.
Where does the system make assumptions about o=,c= syntax? Basic request (basic_csr) is completely configurable. Perhaps IE- and SPKAC-requests are problematical but this is fixable.

Best regards
