Hello,

for the utf8, have you tried to use the CHARSET option when creating the
DB ? You can do this by:

        CREATE DATABASE openca CHARACTER SET utf8;

Check this out (mysql docs):

        http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/charset-database.html

You can also alter an existing database by doing:

        ALTER DATABASE openca CHARACTER SET utf8;

For the Initial Administrator certificate handling, you should use the
"Create a new Request" first, then use the "Edit Request" link.

Let me know if this solves your problems, especially the utf8.

Cheers,
Max
