You cannot write a decent design from scratch. It's important to have a
baseline of functionality to get an idea of scope. The current overlay
provides that baseline.
Some immediate things I see after reading the man page for the current
autoca are:
a) Not going to work well for databases that use "" as a suffix, and then
support multiple domains beneath that (Zimbra had many customers that did
this. One customer handled 10k unique top level domains.)
b) Related to the above, importing CA's for those customer domains would
fail (because they aren't located in the suffix)
c) While there is an option to specify the keysize, there is no option to
specify the digest to use. There should be a note on what the default
digest is, and an option to use other digests. With Zimbra, we had a
default of sha256, and options of ripemd160, sha, sha1, sha224, sha256,
sha384, sha512
d) I don't see a mechanism for creating star certs, which can be fairly
critical. I also don't see a mechanism for doing multiple DNS names, which
can be critical for a server with several CNAMES names.
