I'm just now starting to learn about OpenCA, however
before I get too far involved in it, I'd like to ask
quickly of its capabilities.

I was using OpenSSL for quite a while to try and set
up a new CA hierarchy but ran into a problem trying to
get an offline subordinate to set up properly from an
offline root.  Essentially what happened was after I
signed the request from the subordinate (on the root),
I then took the signed cert to the subordinate and
tried to setup the CA with the specific cert.  So far
my attempts to get it to work have failed as each time
the OpenSSL app wants to create a self-signing CA and
not one authenticated from a higher authority.

So my question is can OpenCA do what I'm trying to
accomplish?  I'll need a three tiered hierarchy, a
root offline, a subordinate offline and then online
CAs after that.

Thanks!
