Hi,

here some questions I stumbled over the last hours ...

1. (Browser - Firefox)
When I´m using Firefox (Windows/Linux) instead of IE, I cannot retrieve my certificate using "Install the Certificate". Why?

2. (Certificate retrieval)
If I request a certificate for my browser using
[pub] User -> Request a certificate
        -> Request a certificate with automatic browserdetection
        or
        -> Internet Explorer Request
I´ll end up with a certificate that can be installed with that "Install the Certificate" link, or be downloaded as PEM,CER,CRT,DER,TXT.
If I request a certificate for my browser using
[pub] User -> Request a certificate
        -> Basic request
I´ll end up with a certificate AND a keypair that I can download. Why do those methods differ? Well, when I then want to download such a keypair (pkcs12), I´ll get a page where I must enter the passphrase to the private key. Once I´ve entered it (the right one of course), I get another page saying: "Passphrase protected content" and "The requested content is protected by a passphrase. Please enter the passphrase to access the content." - whatever I enter here isn´t accepted and I get a "Error 700 General Error Permission denied. Wrong Passphrase." I´m sure that this was working some time before - any idea what could be wrong?

3. (Syslog)
Sometimes I get this in my stderr.log:

OpenCA::Logger::Syslog::Sys: Using syslog priority CRIT because no level was specified.
PKI Master Alert: Logging error
PKI Master Alert: Aborting all operations
PKI Master Alert: Error:   64510030
PKI Master Alert: Message: addMessage failed for log slot sys_syslog (6511070). Cannot write to syslogdevice.
PKI Master Alert: debugging messages of logging follow
OpenCA: General error trapped 6273166: Login failed. at /usr/share/perl5/OpenCA/UI/HTML.pm line 179.
Compilation failed in require at /etc/openca/openca_start line 64.

but in my log.xml the entry for syslog looks like this:

....
<slot>
 <name>sys_syslog</name>
 <class>*</class>
 <level>*</level>
 <logger>Syslog</logger>
 <type>Sys</type>
 <prefix>OpenCA PKI Log Message</prefix>
 <facility>local6</facility>
 <!-- socket type for Sys::Syslog -->
 <socket_type>unix</socket_type>
</slot>
....

syslog is started and listening - "logger -p local6.info Test" is giving the correct output in my logs ... Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Maximilian Schmidt
