A very long email ;) I did not read it all, so ist just a first small answer. The dataexchange devices are introduced at rc5 (?) in the config.xml. The were before in the server conf files.
Insert at all values of the various dataexchange devices for example /tmp/openca/export. Then make a touch /tmp/openca/export. Make it chmod 777. REMEMBER it is only for testing, for a live system you have to think about security. When you initialize your ca and made your various certificates, you make Normally "export configuration to lower level" Then a tar archiv is been made at /tmp/openca/export Then you import on the lower level (ra) this tar file. When you have different machines (offline ca) you have to move that file To the location of the lower level. Thats why i posted a floppy drive or a zip drive. But when you have all on one maschine, do it like i said and you will see it will work. Regards til Ps: gn8 ;)
