I've been working way too long on these CA's and accidentally init'd the wrong one - my root CA! I have the initial configuration backed up but little else. :( Is there a way to re-import the CA certs and user certs I have?
1. Do you have the CA key? 2. Do you have the CA cert? 3. Do you have a backup from your database?
If the answer is three times yes then you can recover your installation.
1. Install OpenCA 2. Copy cakey.pem to the appropriate position var/crypto/keys/cakey.pem 3. tar -cf /dev/fd0 cacert.pem 4. use the first initialization phase of OpenCA 4.1. init database (use the default link) 4.2. recover CA cert step 4 - issuing CA cert --> signed from another CA --> import CA cert signed by another CA
This is not a mistake!!! This copies the cert to the correct positions and performs all the transformations to the different formats. 5. build the chain 6. go to the node interface 7. recovery 8. import database 9. rebuild OpenSSL files
I hope this helps you.
