Guys, can you let me know how I give a new RA a different identity. I am sorting out this data base stuff and I want to set up a different RA to test my upgrade to MYSQL, my normal RA identifies itself as TrustCenter Itself.I think I must explain the two mechanisms.
1. Human readable authorities
-----------------------------
The name "TrustCenter Itself" will be initialized during the requestgeneration. It will be configured in pub.conf. This is only a human readable string which allow you to give your different RAs names, so that the user now to which RAs he can go. OpenCA itself ignores these values.
Only the RA operators can use the names to find the requests which they have to handle.
2. Database isolation
---------------------
To avoid conflicts between seperated databases every installed interface has a unique ID. This is called ModuleID in the conf-files. If you installed another RA seperated from all the other databases (CA and DBM-based online-components) then you must set the ModuleIDs in the conf-files to some IDs which were not used in any other *.conf.
The ModuleShift is unique in all conf-files. It specifies the range of the IDs. ModuleShift is 8 by default. This means the IDs must be in a range from 0 to 255.
Best regards
Michael
