We have hosted the application csrmanage in order to run this application in our online workstations with Wine or directly.

Quick description about csrmanage:

CSRmanage is an application that can be used to validate CSRs (Certificate Signing Requests) and store them along with anciliary information about the personnel involved with CSRs and certificate installations and approvals. CSR evaluation is configurable/very strict.

It was orginally designed to assist with a centralized university certificate requirements and installations process working with the inCommon Federation and the certificate authority then known as Comodo.

It was instrumental in the required institutional authentication of CSRs before they were submitted to Comodo for final approval and certificate issuance.

This application is intended to be used by one, or more, personnel who are involved in or responsible for the processing of organizational certificate requests, and requires familiarity with current CSR/Certificate trends as well as pertinent components of a CSR.

Features:

• Strict/configurable technical evaluation of CSRs
• Apache directory control is very strict
• Memcached, Opcache, and database caches are used to increase performance and usabilty
• Help/other documenation provided as dynamically loaded text files
• Some report entries can be selected to invoke a manage form for the particular entry
