Hi Martin,

I'm still in the tryout phase of PKI systems and I'm aware that the
sampeconfig.sh is not to be used for productive environments.
But unfortunately the documentation of OpenXPKI is missing so many details
that is was impossible for me to get a productive running system just
following the documentation. 
So I started to inspect the sampleconfig.sh to find the missing parts (e.g.
the whole setup stuff of the apache webserver at the end of the script) and
to make little changes to get closer to a production environment step by
step - and there I got stuck when changing the passwords for the certificate
keys. The whole token-secret group construct is great, but for a beginner it
is not really self-explaining...

Anyway, thanks for your response and your advice!

Regards

Florian

Hi,

Good to hear you got it working. lease note that the sampleconfig script is
only that - a quick way to get a working system up and running so you can
have a peek at the software. 
It is not intended to give you a PKI you could actually use in production.
If you are wondering about the security of the CA passphrase of this setup
you are likely about to follow a non-optimal path, let's say.

As mentioned earlier on the list you need to design your PKI properly before
you get to the point where you actually configure the system according to
the design. And at that point you wouldn't use sampleconfig.sh.

Cheers

Martin
