Firstly, is this the primary Email-list for Dogtag/Red Hat Certificate System ?
 
It seems to be the most active one I've found.
  
 
We'd like to create a 'portable' CMS on a laptop running, say, Fedora release 8 (Werewolf).
  
Is this possible ?
 
I'd say it is possible. Take a look at this system here
 
  
Firstly, I know that the console has the directory server's DNS name within the schema itself.
My work-around is to leave an alias in /etc/hosts with the old hostname.
 
I expect the following URLs to cause an 'exception' in the Browser because
hostname in DN does NOT equal hostname for the machine:
https://dogtag.org:9443/ca/agent/ca/
https://dogtag.org:10443/kra/agent/kra/
https://dogtag.org:12889/

I reckon this can be over-ridden by simply accepting the 'exception' when presented
with the warning dialogue-box in Mozilla.
 
Q1. Any other considerations or obstacles ?
