Hi John,


Hi and thanks for responding!

please do not use OpenXPKI (and the sampleconfig) for the RootCA, please do yourself a favour and make that a dedicated process and use e.g. our "clca" tool for it.


Yes I knew you would say that ;-) I was just testing to see how it all worked.

The reference to the clca is handy thanks.


Educated guess on the topic - you changed the key password used in the sampeconfig.sh but did not change the password in OpenXPKI (crypto.yaml, section secret).

Ah that makes some sense.

OK, I can see the passwords it created in the .pass files in /tmp dir.

I did a test and set up and added a password as per the crypto.yaml

openxpkiadm hashpwd -s argon2


        method: plain
        cache: daemon
        kcv: $argon2id$v=19$m=32768,t=3,p=1$dVJZc3p5...foo


When I login I can add the Global Secret group password, but can't do anything much else and it does not cure the system status.


The sampleconfig is exactly what the name indicates, a quick way to get a democa up and running WITHOUT any securtiy.


Yes I read the notes at the head of the file :-)

However I know how complex a subject this is and trying to create your own 'secure' CA from scratch is no mean feat, and probably no more secure than the script!

I'd still like to get this vaguely working so I understand it better and
then I will sit down and try and work out something more convoluted so any advice will be gratefully received.

John
