Hi Sam9,

I am not familiar with MS CA, and I have no idea about what format of
messages it uses between the RA and the CA. Unless MS CA supports our
'custom' message format, you can not. Do you know what types of messages
are supported by MS CA ?

Actually, as now, there is no standard that would address that issue.
Currently at the IETF the Certificate Management via CMS is the candidate
for that, but it is a quite complicate message format (although I have
not read the last I-D that came out November).

Later,
Max

Hi,

Just want to know if you can match for example a CA from OpenCA and a RA
from Microsoft CA for example. I think it's possible if the CA (OpenCA)
signs the certificate of the RA (Microsoft). By this way, the RA would be
trusted by the CA and the RA could operate in the architecture. I'm not sure of this possibility so if anyone can guide me ...
Best regards
Sam
