Hello OpenCA-list!

first of all... thanks! OpenCA is really neat! Although it's configuration wasn't 
really straightforward. Took me some time to use
DC-style DNs and be able to store certs it into LDAP without loosing strict schema 
checking. BTW is the CVS broken? I can't download
as anonymous anymore...

My last big problem (for now) with OpenCA is signing a Sub-CA request of my Windows CA 
(all evil 2003 Server). I import the
generated CSR (I chose subordinate organizational ca for Windows) in my RA. Edit the 
request to add the "Subject Alternative Name",
sign it, export it to my (root) CA - issue it an send it back to my RA. But when I 
want to import it in my Windows CA an error pops
up saying: "0x80092013 ... chain status revocation server offline" - the CRL URL of 
the certificate points to
https://ca.my.host/pub/crl/cacrl.crl which is a correct configured reachable Apache 
with mod_ssl using an OpenCA signed cert. I can
download the CRL via Browser from the windows machine, and it hasn't expired. I can 
setup a "root CA" on the Windows Server (which
is also a active directory domain controller) which works fine. Before using OpenCA I 
used openssl to sign the CSR of the Windows
Server manually, which worked (not sure about the CRL URL in this case).

Has anybody experienced the same? Any advice? Any hint besides not using Windows?! :)
I'm really stuck - installing Windows CA back 'n forth - filling up my neat OpenCA 
cert directory with a whole bunch of certs to be
revoked soon.

Thanks in advance,

Sebastian Rieger
