I don't really know your use case but I assume you would be much better served 
with properly adapting the Enrollment Workflow to your needs.

The publicly available documentation of the OpenXPKI Community Edition provides 
an overview and a quickstart guide on the software, covering a simple use case 
of OpenXPKI to get things up and running. 

From my observation most OpenXPKI CE users seem to be able to get their system 
up and running with this documentation, and with help on this mailing list it 
looks like we were also able to support users with some more advanced questions.

OpenXPKI is a very powerful and complex PKI software product - after all it is 
enterprise grade software. So due to the amount of features and functionality 
the CE documentation naturally only covers a tiny fraction of the available 
feature set.
However, we will gladly accept user contributions to improve the quality of the 
OpenXPKI CE documentation. 

Beyond the quickstart guide there is also a significant amount of class 
documentation within the OpenSource code base itself, as most internals are 
properly documented within the class structure of OpenXPKI. A developer or 
designer with more specific goals will have to learn how OpenXPKI works and dig 
into the details. 

Becoming familiar with the features of OpenXPKI takes time, we have found that 
even with extensive mentoring from our OpenXPKI core team a new developer or 
integrator will take a few months to become productive with the system.

That said, I would like to mention that the Enterprise Edition of OpenXPKI is 
available as a commercial product from our company White Rabbit Security GmbH 
which comes with extensive (400+ pages) of configuration, integration, 
operation and development documentation covering all aspects of the system.

Cheers,

Martin
