Hi,

I've used batch's interface in order to generate many
certificates.
Is it "normal" that there is not data of private key
in my certificate cert.pem

Yes, "cert" contains the public part - so the private key SHOULD NOT be in this file...


If i do basic request in order to request a
certificate, after validation ... I have a certificate
with pem extension and which contains private key.
If i do netscape request (spac) in order to request a
certificate, after validation ... I have a certificate
with pem extension but which contains not private key.

Batchprocessor creates certificate with pem and p12
extensions. The cert.pem is in ~/OpenCA/var/crypto/certs
The cert.p12 is in
~/OpenCA/var/bp/dataexchange/pkcs12/cert.p12
With cert.p12 and Openssl commands i can recover a
pem'certificate with private key data but they aren't
in cert.p12 of crypto/certs/

Many information about that.

ok the difference:
basic request server sided creates the keys on the server, IE/SPAKC creates the key in the browser ans only sends the certificatetion request to the OpenCA - so OpenCA never gets to know the private key.

The certs in crytp/certs contain only the public parts - see above

HTH
