how to import CA for signing

[grimvoodoo]

Hi,
I have been working on a script which can either import an existing CA, or create one and then use that to sign a server or client certificate.

I have got the bit working where I create a CA and use that to sign a server cert, but what I am trying to do now is to load a CA I have created previously from a pem file and use that to sign a new server cert.

Looking at the docs I thought maybe I should be able to use RemoteKeyPair::public_key to read it but I couldn't figure out how it works. But I may be looking in the wrong place.

You can find some code for your use case in #111, and together with #110 there is probably enough issues to track better docs/examples for creating CAs. It's interesting that these questions are so popular lately :).

The RemoteKeyPair is probably not what you want, it is mainly meant for when you have access to a hsm or such and cannot load the key into memory directly.
