Hi,

As there is a need to move configuration files anyway, PKI files are not exception.

I plan (if time permits) to re-write the whole PKI interface, to have a clean interface to allow:

1. proper local management.

2. installation of CA in remote server.

3. integration with 3rd party PKI.

Regards,
Alon.
