Hi,

Now I´m back from holidays and I have forgot my password for CA (!) PRIVATE
KEY
(General -> Initialization -> Generate new CA secret key)
Because it is no productive installation - i can begin from here new.
But I dont won´t do delete my work for config.xml and so on.

What files must I delete, that I can new begin from here ?
One file I think is this
/usr/local/openca/openca/var/crypto/keys/cakey.pem
and which files also ?

primarily you will have to delete the database contents.

Connect to the database manually and execute
delete from request;
delete from crr;
delete from certificate;
delete from ca_certificate;
delete from crl;

This is from memory, I don't have a live installation right now.
On the "Node" interface go to "Utilities/Backup and Restore" and
run "Rebuild OpenSSL database".

After this the database is empty and you could start new with the
existing CA setup (CA certificate and key).
If you want to go ahead and start completely from scratch, you
can remove the cakey.pem file as mentioned above, but I think
this is not necessary; you should be able to run the initialization
steps from the CA/Initialization menu again, it should create
a new key and rename the old one in the above directory.

Hope this helps,

Martin
