I'm still getting used to 1.0.2 myself (and like it very much). If I
recall, the initialization may have been moved to a different portion of
the interface.  Here is what we have in our internal documentation:

Start OpenCA (/usr/local/OpenCA/xxxx/etc/openca/openca_start)

Connect via web browser to https://pki.mycompany.com/pki/ca

Go to PKI Init & Config / Initialization / DB, Key and Cert Init

Initialize the database

Return to the DB, Key and Cert Init page

Generate a new CA key

take default values for key

use the high security password – this will be used to sign all
subsequent requests

Return to the DB, Key and Cert Init page

Generate a new cert request from the CA key

Common Name = xxxx

Organization Unit = xxxxx

Organization = xxxxx

Domain Component = xxxxx

Domain Component = xxxxx

Return to the DB, Key and Cert Init page

Create a self-signed CA certificate

Set the validity period to 7300 days

Return to the DB, Key and Cert Init page

Rebuild the CA chain

Go to PKI Init & Config / Initialization / CA Administrator

Create a new request

User Identifier = xxxx

E-mail Address = x...@mycompany.com

Click Continue

Certificate Group = xxxxx

Certificate Template = RA Operator

Key Generation Mode = Server

Click Continue

Key Strength = Base

Enter an appropriate passphrase

Click continue

Click Generate Request

Return to PKI Init & Config / Initialization / CA Administrator

Issue the certificate

After editing the request, click Issue Certificate

Return to PKI Init & Config / Initialization / CA Administrator

Handle the certificate

Click on more info

Select PKCS#12 from the Certificate and Keypair drop down widget

Download to home directory

Import the PKCS#12 package into Operator's browser, e.g., in Firefox,
choose Edit / Preferences, choose Advanced, choose View Certificates,
select the Your Certificates tab, choose Import, enter the key
passphrase. Next, find the CA cert under Authorities, choose edit, and
enable all faculties. Click on OK.

Hope this helps - John
