Hi, I plan to use openca for testing and learning and can initially only use one physical node. To ease possible later division to an online and an offline node I will try to use two management interfaces. I am therefore trying to follow the instructions given in openca_guide.pdf, chapter 4.2 "How to setup two management interfaces on one server?". Here are some questions and suggestions:
Q1: Should I configure one online "site" and one offline "site" in apache as well, each with different htdocs and cgi-bin paths (also reflected when running configure)? In 4.2.1 "Online Components" it says "edit .... and OPENCADIR/etc/configure_etc.sh. Q2: In what way needs configure_etc.sh to be edited for the online node? Remove any ca-related directories? In 4.2.1 it also says "use the hierarchy level ra". Q3: I understand that this refers to uncomment the "the node acts as RA only" part of the "dataexchange configuration" section of config.xml and commenting the default part. For my part I used the "the node acts as public/scep and RA" part instead as I want all of these services to be managed through the same interface. Is this OK? In 4.2.2 "Offline Components" it says "chmod 000 etc/servers/*.conf*". S1: If done this way you later has to add at least read access later. I suggest doing chmod a+r etc/servers/*.conf* from the start instead. In 4.2.2 it also says "The next step is really important you have to edit the file etc/configure_etc.sh." ... "Usually there should be the following directories: /Test/OpenCA/etc/ /Test/OpenCA/lib/servers/offline_node /Test/OpenCA/lib/servers/ca /Test/htdocs/ca /Test/htdocs/offline_node" Q4: Does "/Test" above actually refer to OPENCADIR like in 4.2.1 or does it mean I have to use a different install prefix for the offline part? Q5: Assuming "/Test" is OPENCADIR, then I can not find any OPENCADIR/lib/servers. Do you actually mean OPENCADIR/etc/servers?
