+{ type: install
+ message: <<EOM
+- Create root directory for your root certificate authority (CA),
+ e.g. "/ca_home":
+ mkdir -p /ca_home/private
+- Publish it in your environment as CA_HOME (this name is fixed):
+ e.g. export CA_HOME=/ca_home
+- Populate it as:
+ cp -pR %%EXAMPLESDIR%%/ /ca_home
+ cp -pR %%DOCSDIR%%/ /ca_home
+- Follow advice at:
+ /ca_home/*.md (patched for FreeBSD) or
+ https://github.com/openxpki/clca (for original Debian Linux)
+- Revise your configuration in
+ /ca_home/etc/*
+ /ca_home/bin/*
+- Run main interactive Bash script of this port as follows:
+ cd /ca_home
+ bin/clca
+- This port/package installs some scripts into %%PREFIX%%/bin:
+ clca, change-quorum.sh, provision,secret
+ Sometime it is convenient to run them from your root ca directory /ca_home,
+ as they are in your PATH. But beware of confusing them with scripts, which
+ are located in /ca_home/bin/*.
+- Use of OpenSSL or LibreSSL
+ = This package comes (from FreeBSD build cluster) bound with
+ openssl from base system, cf: /usr/ports/Mk/Uses/ssl.mk
+ If you want to use openssl or libressl from ports instead, then:
+ 1) add the name of respective port
+ (openssl, openssl30, openssl31, libressl, libressl-devel...)
+ to /etc/make.conf file e.g. like this:
+ DEFAULT_VERSIONS+= ssl=openssl31
+ 2) install security/openssl31
+ 3) cd /usr/ports/security/p5-openxpki-clca && make reinstall
+ you do not need to rebuild dependencies, installed from packages.
+ 4) repeat steps above for re-population of root directory and revising
+ configuration.
+ 5) If your system has more that one installation of openssl/libressl, you
+ may want to create a symlink (early in the path) to your preferred
+ openssl binary. Check your working copy of openssl with:
+ which openssl
+ openssl version
+ 6) Revise again your configuration in
+ /ca_home/etc/*
+ /ca_home/bin/*
+ = Using versions OpenSSL 1.0 or less can restrict features of this port.
+ = This port builds just fine with any available versions of OpenSSL or
+ LibreSSL. But its operation with LibreSSL or OpenSSL 3.1+ has not been fully
+ tested. Report your respective story to the list
+ https://sourceforge.net/p/openxpki/mailman/
+ or use OpenSSL 3.0 instead.
+- If you choose to create (as docs advice) a new optional perl script in
+ the /ca_home/bin directory, you may want to employ a construct like
+ use FindBin;
+ use lib "$FindBin::Bin/../lib";
+ inside your script, so that perl modules from /ca_home/lib directory
+ become available to your script if you need them to be.
+- Note, that this software is optimized for use from autonomous device, when
+ /ca_home directory is located on USB drive, which is extracted from computer
+ after work to be kept inside a steel vault.
