Hi all,

within the context of a centralized enrollement, I have some questions
abut rules and functionalities:

Section 3.6.1. figures out that for first time setup, the user queries
DNS on the overlay name and gets the address of a configuration
server. The configuration server in then contacted and a configuration
document is provided to the user, having the content of a bootstrap
node and an enrollment server. The configuration document is described
in section 10.1.

Correct so far ?

But the user needs a certificate first. So Section 3.6.2 says that the
user performs a connection to the enrollment server (with username/pw)
to obtain a certificate (with node-id, etc.).

Correct so far ?

In conflict to that, section 10.2. states that the adress of the
enrollment server is found with a DNS query, not with the content of a
configuration document and, furthermore, the configuration document is
downloaded from enrollment server and the certificate, according to
section 10.3, is assigned by an credential-server.

Please help me clarifying this conflict.

>From my understanding by now, there is:

1. initially one server providing a configuration document, including
the bootstrap-nodes (and some other things for joining the overlay).
The address is resolved by querying the overlay name.
2. The user then queries the service name p2psip_enroll and get the
address of an Enrollment server. The user performs a connection to get
a certificate (with node-id etc.). This certificate is assigned by the
enrollment server.
3. The user then joins the overlay with the given certificate.

But this lacks some understanding of a credential-server and/or Rules
on the other elements/servers/functionalities.

Regards,
  frederic
