Hi,

Just to remind everyone considering OpenXPKI for running their own PKI:

It is perfectly OK to use shortcuts to get things up and running quickly in 
order to learn how the software works, BUT

- the sample config script is just that, it produces a sample configuration to 
get things up and running quickly
- the sample config script IS NOT INTENDED to provide you with a configuration 
which can blindly be used in production, and WE DO NOT RECOMMEND TO USE IT THIS 
WAY
- the fact that the sample config script uses hardcoded passphrases should 
emphasize that
- if you are taking precautions to have the script generate random passphrases 
and end up putting these random passphrases in your configuration... then you 
are most probably not using the sample config script for testing purposes and 
you should seriously reconsider what you are doing

Setting up a PKI, your processes and key management right takes preparation, 
planning and proper execution.

OpenXPKI is a very powerful and flexible software. It is certainly capable of 
providing reliable and secure PKI services in professional environments, but it 
is incorrect to assume that there is a turnkey solution for that.

Cheers

Martin
