by <a href="http://www.mozilla.org">Mozilla browser</a>.
17
</li>
18
<li>
19
Added new parameter <a href="config.html#caCertConfirmReqLog">
20
caCertConfirmReqLog</a> for defining the path name of
21
file for log output of <em>sbin/ca-certreq-mail.py</em>.
22
</li>

English translation of help for <em>cgi-bin/client-enroll.py</em>

Use env variable <em>PYCALIB</em> to set name of the directory
30
containing the modules.

<li>
48
Fixed MIME types sent for M$ IE in <em>cgi-bin/get-cert.py</em>
49
(<em>application/pkix-cert</em>, see
50
<a target="external_doc" href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2585.txt">RFC 2585</a>).
51
</li>
52
<li>
53
<em>cgi-bin/get-cert.py</em> can be called with path info
54
"extension" specifying the output format
55
(.der, .pem, .b64).
56
</li>
57
<li>
58
URLs pointing to <em>get-cert.py</em> have suffix .crt or .crl
59
for defining a pseudo "file type".
60
This triggers certificate/CRL handling in older versions
61
of M$ IE which do not properly use the MIME-type for determining
62
the file type.
63
</li>
64
<li>
65
Massive modifications to default configuration file
66
shipped with package. The default configuration uses
67
a domainComponent root naming now.
68
</li>
69
<li>
70
Fixed bug concerning validity interval checking when
71
issuing sub CA certificates in <em>ca-make.py</em>.
72
</li>
73
<li>
74
Make use of parameter
75
<a href="config#caAdminMailAdr">caAdminMailAdr</a> in
76
<em>ca-certreq-mail.py</em>
77
for forming From: address if CA certificate does not contain
78
Email attribute in subject DN.
79
</li>
80
<li>
81
Fixed case-handling of <em>userCertificate</em> atttibute in
82
certs2ldap.py. The currently used attriute type name is determined
83
and also used in displayed status messages.
84
</li>
85
<li>
86
<var>bin/certs2ldap.py</var>:
87
now handles multi-valued <em>userCertificate</em>
88
atttibutes correctly, can delete revoked or expired certificates,
89
can add new LDAP entries.
90
</li>
91
<li>
92
No LDIF file created by client-enroll.py anymore.
93
</li>
94
<li>
95
If anyone messed up the ownership and permission
96
of CA certificate and key file it's restored at the
97
beginning of ca-make.py while still running as root.
98
</li>
99
<li>
100
Removed input of parameter userpassword in <em>cgi-bin/client-enroll.py</em>
101
since it was never used. Well, the lack of a user administration
102
concept shows here...
103
</li>
104
<li>
105
Text for confirmation e-mail was altered to avoid the message
106
being caught by spam filters looking for string
107
"ignore this" in message body.
108
</li>
109
<li>
110
Correctly evaluate form field <var>browsertype</var>
111
in <em>cgi-bin/client-enroll.py</em>.
112
</li>
113
<li>
114
Applied patch to module <var>vbs</var> contributed by
115
<em>Reiner Keller</em> for fixing compability issues
116
with M$ IE 6.x.
117
</li>
118
<li>
119
Since most people did not configure the CA cert extensions
120
properly some weird settings were removed.
121
</li>
122
<li>
123
Removed german umlauts from all Python and HTML sources.

192
coming through proxies).
193
</li>
194
<li>
195
Got rid of scripts in sbin/ importing pycacnf.py
196

This might require some changes to an installation

(provide parameter in mail aliases, CRON jobs etc.)
199
</li>
