I've been using OpenCA 0.9.0 and the CA certificate (which was self signed 2 years ago) is about to expire. Can anybody tell me how to generate a new CA certificate? I'm also considering moving to the latest 0.9.1.4 OpenCA at the same time. Any advice is welcome.
This question creates more questions then answers :)
Do you want to setup a new CA? It is not recommended to simply extend the lifetime of a CA certificate. It is recommended to setup a new key and CA certificate. This means it is recommended to setup a new CA. Bill explains several times the problems of such renewals. Perhaps we should add some lines to the recommendation area of the openca guide.
