machine, but it's unclear from the documentation how to go about
generating a certificate for the RA.

there is an initialization interface - there you can - beside init the ca, create the first certs for ra and operators


Am I supposed to generate a certificate on the CA, and use dataexchange
to transfer it to the RA, then do something on the RA to make it the
RA's certificate?

to make it the 'ras' certificate, you have to export it as mod_ssl and configure your apache to use it... so https gets enabled - thats what the ra-cert is used for


second you can enable x509-auth - so the operators have to have an valid certificate to login to restriced areas like ra, node and ldap interafaces

I have exported the CA cert to the RA, and that works well, but I can't
seem to approve requests on the RA and send them to the CA yet.


can you describe this a bit more in detail?
what exactly doesn'T work, aprove with signing or just aproving and so on
