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?

exactly it can be used for authentication purposes
at the registration node interface there is a option
called: verify pin, where an ra-operator may have the
ability to verify the request (basicaly it opens a extra window, where one can submit the pin two times - as password input fields, so its asterixed)


for example: the requester has to go to the ra operator and provide his pin in a webform - the openca-system then will compare the request pin against the provided password and tell the ra-operator if they match or not (he won't see it, only if he follows the fingers on the keyboard of the person ;)

so it may be possible, that a workflow requests that serveradmins show up at the pki help desk to confirm there request... and this will work with that option
