The meaning of this guide has changed. It must be reorganized. It should now help people to implement a PKI which use the full power and flexibility of OpenCA. Mainly it should give the people an overview about the hierarchies which can be implemented with OpenCA.
Before you start installing or editing OpenCA you should understand the most important principles of OpenCA's design. The first section describes the general design and the second section describes the software design.
This guide will be incomplete at every time because it is the part of documentation which must be changed at every time the software changes. So please be lenient toward us :)
