I want to discuss issues concerning the rbac facility
in OpenCA. I am going through the articles on PMI and
X509 privilege management system. Could you guide me
on book references if any on the subject and the
issues specific to the OpenCA project for rbac. And
could I have your personal mailID,pls.
The only documentation which we have is the OpenCA Guide. You can find the most actual version at:

ftp://ftp.openca.org/pub/openca/developers/bell/doc/

The RBAC will be changed in the next version of OpenCA. We plan a new mechanism to have an own system for the access control. Please see the ToDo list in the head branch of the CVS.

The actual code of the rbac you can find in rbac-utils.lib. There some comments in the code too (I cannot believe it but it's true :) )

The new code will have to basic functions getRole and grantAccess because there are different methods to get the role. Today both functionalities are bundled in grantAccess.

P.S. we have to remove all static webpages from OpenCA before we can implement the new access control. Today we work on a script for the menugeneration and a script to display static webpages (perhaps we integrate these static webpages to the related scripts itself).
