Sorry for the missing context. I am still in the very beginning first part
trying to set OpenXPKI up. Therefore, still not requesting certificate via
the GUI.
Since OpenXPKI needs to be feed up with a Root and an Issuer certificate
(and vault) generated elsewhere, maybe using command line tool like openssl
or like in my case, using a tool called XCA.

Following the Quickstart guide:
- I imported a self signed Root certificate, then
- imported a Issuing certificate (signed by the previous mentioned Root
certificate) in the realm associating it with certsign token (--token
certsign).
Both certs with EC Keys.

The logs I posted are showed up right after login on Web Interface. In
other words right after:
openxpki.auth.INFO Login successful using authentication stack....
in /var/log/openxpki/catchall.log

I set up another realm the same way but with RSA Keys and here I get the
tokens online as expected.

I did not try it before as I assumed offline token should be a no go, but
now I just tried to request and approve a Webserver certificate with the
ca-signer-1 token offline anyway. I still did not tested the resulting
certificate but the workflow state is SUCCESS :-O
The vault-1 token is a self signed RSA certificate.

Should I work with offline tokens ?

Cheers,
Jeff
