Hello OpenCA Team,

for upgrading purposes from 0.9.(4) I evaluated the most recent release 
1.0.2 on a Debian 5.0 configured and build from the sources and came 
accros several issues.

The most important to be mentioned here, maybe you can help me.

1. If I turn off usage of LOA's in etc/config.xml it seems to be 
impossible to initialize the root, cause I cannot request certificates 
for CAMaster ans RA. The displayed LAO is empty and I receive an 
errormessage that says something like: You cannot request a certificate 
using that LOA. It does not matter if I choose broser generated keypair 
or server generated, I always receive that error.

2. There seem to occur some cruel template confusion when I use a german 
Firefox. When I setup my browser to accept de_DE and request a 
certificate, the template for user is translated to "Nutzer". When I try 
to approve the request in the RA interface I get an error like that: The 
compilation of the command cmdViewCSR failed. Can't use an undefined 
value as a HASH reference at 
/usr/local/openca/openca/lib/openca/functions/crypto-utils.lib line 1215

After some investigation it turned out, that the configuration cannot be 
loaded at that point, cause he is looking for a template named 
Nutzer.conf instead user.conf.

If I reconfigure my Browser to en_US the same request works. Is there an 
error in the template naming process or is this an issue of 
misconfiguration?

3. Thats a theoretical question. Even in older releases I always 
wondered why there occurs a CDP in the initial self-signed root 
certificate. As far as I know that's wrong. And as far as I understand a 
CDP for a CRL should occur only in certificates that are issued by the 
instance that also issues the CRL mentioned in the CDP. So if I have a 
end-user certificate, the CDP point's to the CRL of the issuing SubCA. 
And if I look into this SubCA certificate I should find the CDP where I 
can download the CRL from the SubCA's issuer ... for example a root CA. 
So if this root is selfsigned, who's CDP do I find in there?? Nobodys or 
am I wrong?

So is it a misconfiguration too, or am OI completely wrong?
