Though I'm not sure at this point what's blocking you, however I was able to previously publish Certs(and CRLs) to file system successfully using below procedure: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1/ Configure CA 2/ Fire up pkiconsole, go to 'Publishing' 3/ Configure a filebased 'Publisher' + Add a 'FileBasedPublisher'(say with id 'filepub') with a directory '/var/lib/pki-ca/filepublishing' Note:Ensure to create this directory 'filepublishing' under /var/lib/pki* tree, so that SELinux doesn't complain. If you're creating this directory elsewhere on the file system, be sure to relabel your SELinux context 4/ Configure 'Rules' + Add a new 'Rule'(say "filerule") and select the type as 'certs' , mapper as 'NoMap' and publisher as 'filepub'(the one we created in step 3 above) 5/ Enable Publshing in pkiconsole 6/ Restart CA instance (do not miss this) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now, new certs should be published to your 'var/lib/pki-ca/filepublishing' directory. hope that helps. -- /kashyap
