Hello Joseph,

if I get this right, you want to use OpenXPKI as a Root CA? While this
is technically possible we usually recommend to use a more lightweight
tool such as "clca".

Yes your assumption is correct, OpenXPKI profiles have a similar
function as MS CA templates. To create (or change) a profile you need to
create/adjust the files in the profile/ directory. For a SubCA
certificate you need to set the basic_constraints.ca key to a true
value:
https://github.com/openxpki/openxpki-config/blob/community/config.d/realm.tpl/profile/sample.yaml#L105
and add the appropriate keyusage flags, usually key_cert_sign and crl_sign.

best regards

Oliver
