Hi everyone...

On a running install of OpenCA we discovered the following :

1) when we create a CSR (with openssl for instance on a separate serveur) and 
then we try to introduce it in OpenCA to create a certificate, the system 
claims that our CSR does not follow the rules and we need to correct to O= 
field or the certificate name.

2) when we create the CSR directly from the OpenCA Pub node, some defaults are 
applied concerning the fields OU=, O= in the distinguished name for the 
certificate name.

Regarding this, we have three questions :

a) Where can we modifiy these defaults ? We tried in openssl.cnf in 
/OpenCA/etc/openssl and in /openssl directly but no way. The way to use the 
policies (if i am right it has something to do with this) is really not clear 
and the behavior of this feature is not documented AFAIK.

b) Can we specify different defaults for these fields, related to the type of 
certificate we want (User, Web, CAOperator, RAOperator, etc...)

c) We really want to publish all the certificates and stuff in a OpenLDAP 
directory running on the RA node. Are we obliged to strictly follow the same 
distinguished name, in other words, the distinguished name in the certificate 
is the same than in the LDAP directory ?

Many thanks in advance for your advice

Francois
