In general, I think OpenCA is a great piece of work.
Well, I think I am on the same condition as you. I am trying to deploy OpenCA on my campus. But, I haven't deployed OpenCA perfectly, it's still on testing phase. May I ask some question to you? I am still a little bit confuse, about how to use certificate for application authentication. What I know is that in the certificate there's public key. Then we use public key to encrypt message and private key to decrypt the message. I have succesfully created certificate and export it to LDAP server using OpenCA. But then, how I use this certificate for application authentication? In what application did you use certificate for authentication? I am planning to use this certificate to proxy-server authentication using squid. But I am still confused, how to do with this certificate. > Thanks for your time, Ok, thank you for your attention. > Mike > > Mike Wiseman > Computing and Networking Services > University of Toronto Bandung Institute of Technology Indonesia -- Zaki Akhmad ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
