We should have support for intermediate certificates.

Currently that can be done by generating an intermediate, and using a different config file for each intermediate. Not very optimal.

Questions to ask:

  • Should intermediates have the same key as the root or not?
  • Should a client be allowed to request belonging to a certain intermediate via Subject?
  • Should we indicate the intermediate in the subject?

Least visible changes would be to say no to the last two, and server-side assign intermediates to the client. A more visible version would be to change the OU to point at the named intermediate.

Suggested functions to add to the admin tools:

  • Create intermediate
  • Reject intermediate ( should also reject all signed children)
  • List intermediate
  • Assign CSR to intermediate (for future signing)

This change will require a new table in the database, and adjustment to models.
