First of all, the published docker image may be not the best way to start experimenting with OpenXPKI. We use it primarily for debugging and testing purposes ourselves. As you noticed, it is hard to interact with the system via command line tools such as openxpkiadm which are not available outside the docker environment. I recommend to set this up the traditional way via packages on a Linux system to get a better feel for the system. > Additionally, I can see in the information panel on the webUI that there are > two errors of "No CRL found" and "No encryption token set". > I tried to set the CRL with the solution I found in the issue > "https://sourceforge.net/p/openxpki/mailman/openxpki-users/thread/CACEH2s=qgshVHWsQMf=l23jeoe5vz5sjdlgvpygbyekkya3...@mail.gmail.com/ > " but I get the error that "This workflow was canceled by user interaction". > Plus, for setting the encryption token I need to use commands which cannot be > found; e.g. openxpkiadm. Your system does seem not have a certsign token configured. Without an active Issuing CA no CRL can be created. In the quickstart manual we suggest storing the CA signer key in the database, in order for this to work you also need an encryption token. The setup is explained here: https://openxpki.readthedocs.io/en/latest/quickstart.html#system-setup > Lastly, I have copied the contents of openxpki-config repository to > etc/openxpki and when I navigate there and try to run commands such as > "openxpkictl start " and "openxpkiadm" I get the command not found error. Yes, this is expected in a docker setup. You cannot directly call openxpki command line tools inside the docker container from the outside. > I would be grateful if you could guide me on these questions because I am > really confused and don't know where else to look. Well, you have come to the right place ;-) Cheers Martin _______________________________________________ OpenXPKI-users mailing list OpenXPKI-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openxpki-users
