1- The central RA can also have requests and approvals in his own DB, right? From a user point of view, it's just like any of the others, right?
Yes.
2 - When I configure the dataexchange, using scp, I must copy seven tar files (openca-1.tar, openca-2.tar,...) , one from each minor RA. How do I write the script to read all seven files? And how do I know what to export for each of them?
First the dataexchange with the different RAs works allways the same way.
minor RA.x: upload data to openca.tar at the major RA major RA: receive data via openca.tar from a minor RA
These two steps must be performed for every RA seperately. First you exchange the data with RA.1, then with the RA.2 and so on. They all use the same target file. The major RA imports allways one minor RA upload.
The enrollment from the major RA to the minor RAs works similar like the upload. The major RA performs on export and then every minor RA uses scp to copy the export file to it's local disk.
If you don't like to access the major RA from the minor RAs then you must put all the stuff in the import command on the major RA. This includes merging the different tar files.
