That would be real cool. For now I'll manage with Beta4 but if we are
going to cross-over to NewPKI we need this feature.

This is not a real big problem but it would help. This way we should be
able to renew a certificate rather than just issue new ones. So yes it
would be very helpfull but this is not a real big issue for me.

The reason why we are investigating this right now is because right now we
only have a dozen or 2 certificates out in the field but between now and
somewhere early next year this is going to increase a lot and OpenCA is
very clumbersom (even for PKI standards ;-)).

I would thinks so ;-).

Not a problem. But thanks for reminding. We don't use it as we "should" if
we would have our users to get them to apply for there own certificate we
would never get one out the door. So we request them for them and install
them locally.

Thanks for the help.
