Hi Steve,
Adding the pki-users@ mailing list.
We need a bit more information. We have a profile for CA
certificates ("caCACert"). The validity period is 20 years which is
probably too long, but if you make a custom profile that is a copy
of caCAcert except with the desired validity period, it should be
suitable.
Can you please give more information on exactly what you're having
difficulty with, or how the results differ from your goal?
Thanks,
Fraser
