On Windows XCA goes in portable mode if no XCA registry entry is found.
On Mac and Unix it checks the XCA_PORTABLE environment to be non-empty.
In portable mode:
- The current working directory is not written to the database
- The configured language and history of opened databases is
forgotten after a restart of XCA
- No registry entry is required nor written.
- No unexpected files are written to disk, except exported items.
- Portable mode is displayed in the "About" dialog
If setup.exe or "make install" are not used,
- XCA is not assigned as app for any file types
No need to translate "X Certificate and Key management",
"Form", "Dialog" or "TimeInput"
"Select Token" and "New Key" window titles were never shown.
Remove them.
This is a large squash of many small commits.
Allow porting data from the legacy format to SQL.
Store Binaries base64 encoded and use db->transaction
Update password hash to be 8000 x SHA512 with 8 byte Salt
Add revocations table and fixup CRL generation
Add comment and insertion date columns
Fix column saving, remove trust, add XcaDialog
Allow changing the internal name and comment in Cert/Req details view
Extend Comment functionality, Replace About.ui by XcaDialog.ui
The API changed heavily. New functions arrived, old functions
disappeared and many structures became opaque.
This version of the patch implements pkcs11 signing as follows:
- openssl < 1.0.0: rsa & dsa without engine
- openssl 1.0.x: rsa, dsa & ec with engine
- openssl >= 1.1.0: rsa, dsa & ec without engine
In the operation, we therefore also gain implementation of dsa signing for openssl < 1.0.0 (ec disabled because EC_KEY_METHOD was not yet invented!).
I've given up trying to use a PKEY_ENGINE with openssl 1.1: seems not possible anymore.
I've succeeded compiling the patched xca with openssl 0.9.8n, 1.0.2j and 1.1.0e.
I've successfully tested pkcs11 signing using softhsm with openssl 1.0.2j and 1.1.0e.
The patch also removes gcc7 new warnings.
Updated patch adds another export option automating the creation
of multiple index.txt files to be used with multiple ocsp responders.
New export option is available via command line (-I index.txt) and
the Extras menu (Extra->Export Certificate Index hierarchy).
The option causes the creation of an index.txt file containing
index records for all the children certificates of a parent.
The filenames are generated using the supplied name as prefix
and append a dot and the simplified Internal Name
(the Internal Name stripped of non-alphanumeric characters except underscores).
XCA currently lacks support for generating an index.txt.
Such a file gets created and maintained when using CA
features in openssl. As mentioned here:
https://sourceforge.net/p/xca/discussion/209946/thread/6cbc727c/#2310
such a file can be used by Openssl's built-in OCSP responder.
Additionally, it can be used for configuring a cron job for
reminding of certificate expiration.
Certificate index export is added in 3 places:
- command line (-i index.txt),
- the Extras menu (Extra->Export Certificate Index) and
- the selected file(s) export option in the context menu
on the Certificates tab (Export->File, Export Format:
Certificate Index file).
Please note that SubjectDN generated by this feature has
different formatting than the one generated by openssl.
The removed people did not add any code since more than 10 years.
cwUsersPeople having questions also write them,
which could be annoying.
Anyway: Thanks for your collaboration!
Add an openssl 1.0.1 Brainpool patch in misc
(backported from 1.0.2-beta3)
Use it to build:
setup-xca-1.1.0-brainpool.exe
xca-1.1.0-brainpool.dmg
Check at runtime for the library supporting the curves
and display it in the About dialog
