Hi Buchan,

I want to enroll a user not server cert, but the idea is that I need the
credential in the user the home dir.  And I don't want the user
to manually export the cred out of the browser, thus I believe if we have a
program that request the cert and retrieve it from the OpenCA it eliminates
the steps of dealing with a browser.

So can this autosscep for initial enrolment store the credential in a
specific path on a linux system?

thanks!

If you mean you just want to enroll (e.g. a server) for a cert ... use an
SCEP
client.

I am using autosscep for initial enrolment (on Linux and Solaris). The
Cisco
VPN client also has SCEP support.

But, I am not sure if this is what you want.

Buchan
