Greetings,

I am looking at deploying an open source CA/PKI for a client. It would
be only for internal users and systems. It would have to manage a few
hundred certificates against the organization's self-signed root cert.
It would be installed on a CentOS 5.x platform.

I have looked at OpenCA and Dogtag. Any other packages I should look at?

Does anyone have any opinions as to the pros and cons of either of these
packages or thoughts/comments/experience with other similar packages?

I would especially be interested in your experience with building /
installing the package and your opinion of the documentation available.

TIA for your help!

If you like J2EE for customization you should try EJBCA
(http://ejbca.sourceforge.net/). It is a complete CA/PKI built in
J2EE, we tried it at job and it was quite complete and well
documented.
