Hi, David. I do recall hitting the problem where the CA cert is put in
the wrong place.  It was a number of years ago.  If I recall correctly,
one can import in an advanced way and tell it where to put the cert
against all the objections IE will raise.  I believe that's how we got
around it.

We will soon need to address the dc issue, too.  I think it will be
pretty simple.  I believe the key will be the templates in
etc/openca/servers.  I'm guessing we simply change:

DN_TYPE_BASIC_BASE     "O" "C"

to

DN_TYPE_BASIC_BASE     "DC" "DC"

At least I'm hoping it's that easy ;) Does anyone else have any
experience doing this?  Take care - John
