Hi all, I am working with OpenCA since a few months and after using it I've got some doubts. I hope someone could help me.
Everytime you make a request you have to insert your data and a PIN code. According to my experience, this code it's used as a passphrase to encrypt the private key generated, but it's not stored in any database and it's no longer used by OpenCA (unless you want to download the key, a PCKS#12 file or even change it). This behaviour is OK for user requests, but has nosense for server requests because in that case the encpryted pair of keys and also a CSR has already benn generated in the server. Why is needed to give a PIN code? Is it used? Is it stored anywhere? Can I use it later for any kind of authentication? Thanks for your help.
