Hi Juan,
I'm using openca-0.9.2.1
You cant sign on the RA ! The batchsystem needs the private key of the CA and so is located on the CA.
so, how do I approve requests in RA using BatchSystem?
I think you talk about the "automatic issue", so the leftmost item in the batch menu ? You can't approve requests "en block", you just can issue certificates on manually approved requests with this.
If you need a way to create requests from a third pary datasource you should use the "real" batch system. This will create certificates from a plain text file with some data.....
I did it, in the CA, using node --> Administration
--> Dataexchange --> Enroll
data to a lower level of the hierarchy -->
Configuration
and in the RA, node --> Administration -->
Dataexchange --> Download data from a
higher level of the hierarchy --> Configuration
This should work normally, I guess you screwed something. Is the CA Certificate correctly installed in the CA ?
I'm using an HSM so the private key cannot be exported. So what should I do in that case?
You need the cert/public key - this is accessile outside the HSM, have you created a CA certificate ?
