Same Problem @XCA 2.3.0 MacOS 10.15.4
open recent does not work on MacOSX
What operating system do you use and what version of XCA? Please check whether the PKCS#11 library has the same bitwitdh as XCA (usually 64bit) If you hover over the lib with the cross, it should pop-up an error. I used the yubikey4 some time before (and there is still a bug pending), but basically it should work, Please switch to the github repository, where current xca development happens. https://github.com/chris2511/xca
Hi, i'm fairly new to this but yubikey have become so cheap i would like to use it to generate and protect the keys of our Issuing CA. I bought the yubikey 5 which comes with their own PKCS#11 module libykcs11, but when I want to add it in XCA it shows it with a cross :( Then I tried with OpenSC PKCS#11 module, that one shows a green mark in XCA but fails to initialize anything. Has anyone tried or succeeded to use a yubikey through XCA? How? With what module? Did you have to initialize some stuff...
I' wondering? Every commment in this thread deals beautifully with how to set up xca for the Linux environment. Does that mean that it will not work on the Windows 10 environment. I have an installation of PostgreSQL 12 that is working beautifully. Unfortunately, the xca interface only allows me to choose an ancient, antiquate MySQL database or an ancient, antiquated PostgreSQL database, both of which are so antiquated that I would never allow them to be installed on my network for security reasons...
Unrecognized Databases
Hi, this is still unexpected behaviour for me. XCA does not protect the private key of a CA certificate from unintentional deleting. In my opinion XCA should complete refuse deleting a private key of an existing CA certificate. There should only be the way of deleting the certificate on the certificates tab (where I can see what depends on this certificate) and then deleting the private key in a second try. Perhaps you could add this functionality to XCA? Thank you very much.

Certificate template - do not replace some fields
see also https://github.com/chris2511/xca/issues/104
Hi Christian, Great that one can work also on the public key without the certificate extra data. I would need the SHA256 fingerprint of the public key. How can I see that with xca ?
Yes, spaces every 4 characters instead of the colons every 2 would be a great display alternative
Hello, I intend to sign lots of CSR. I need them to look all similar, except the commonName attribute. That means that I want to replace organization, country, organizationalunits, ... by standardized ones if they come different in the CSR. So I have created a certificate template, filled in all that stuff, except the commonName since I want it be imported from the CSR. Unfortunately when I apply the template at signing time, all the fields are well replaced, but the commonName is also replaced by...

The database itself as a whole is unencrypted. The private keys however are AES encrypted by the database password, or by a unique password for each key. (context menu "Change password")
Thanks. As a quick follow up. How is the local database itself secured\encyrpted?
The database is exchangeble between any host, operating system and currently any 2.x version of XCA. Just put the USB drive into any Linux/BSD/Windows/Mac host you trust and open the database.
I am relatively new to PKI, but am wanting to setup an infrastructure for my company. I am considering using XCA to create an offline root CA, and then ADCS for the sub issuing CAs. My question is does the XCA database always need to be opened on the same computer\hardware? For example, could I put the XCA database on an encrypted USB and then open it from any machine with XCA installed to issue CRLs and certs to the sub CAs. Thanks,
Ah, thank you very much, that was it, I didn't notice it's linked against qt4 and I was installing libraries for qt5 ;-)
The Qt SQL drivers are plugins and loaded during runtime. No recompile necessary. Probably XCA links against Qt4. Then you need to install "libqt4-sql-mysql". If Qt5 and Qt4 development headers and libraries exist, XCA prefers Qt5. Both depend on and should install "libmysqlclient20".
Hi, I have just run into the same problem, I have installed libqt5sql5-mysql package but even after rebuild of xca I'm getting 0 available remote db drivers... Any further suggestion please? Thanks. Jan
You probably need to install the qt mysql drivers. "apt install libqt5sql5-mysql" Am 19.

Why is this by design? This causes numerous problem if your PKCS11 lib is lightweight and doesn't support the full suite of card management features.

Basically you just need to create an empty database and a database-user that is allowed to access it. Google is of great help here :-) I will document it on the XCA homepage, soon.
I don't see this topic in the manual and haven't found it in searches on this forum. Are the steps to create a remote PostgreSQL or MySQL database documented somehwere? I'm interested in this option for multi-user access. Thanks in advance for any assistance!

You could import the VMCA and issue a "Similar certificate" from the "context menu -> Transform." You must generate a new key or import the VMCA private key. After that all certificates issued by the VMCA must be replaced by certificates issue by your CA. I propose to import the issued certificates and re-issue them again by "Transform -> similar certificate", this time only replacing the issuing VMCA by your CA. And finally the VMCA root certificate must be added to all browsers and other clients,...

Hello Christian, thanks for your quick anwer! I checked this and your steps are correct. My wish is, that I could quick verfiy if an certificate has been renewed with the same private key and CSR that the Public Key matches. Actually I can only see, if the private key is the same, but when someone used a new CSR the public key will not match and XCA wont show me this before I would delete the private key and transform a public key from the certificate? I didnt find a way to display which CSR has...
Certificates and requests allow to "Transform->public key" in the comtext menu (I wanted to link to the documentation, but this is poorly documented. Will fix it) "Transform->public key" Will take the public key and create a new item in the "Private Keys" tab. If the option is greyed out then there is already a matching key in the "Private keys" tab. And the keys (public (transformed from the CSR or certificate) as well as private) allow to "Export -> Clipboard or File" and select "PEM public" Which...

Is there any known issue with the ocsp option in xca? XCA uses the OpenSSL mechanisms to add the entry, so I don't think there is anything XCA can do differently. Did you try an other browser? They (IE, FF, Chrome) are known to behave differently.

I'm getting the same error on Windows 7, opening a DB created with the previous version of XCA with a file size of 113kb. I'll try to create a dummy DB for you shortly.
Not related to size; I could reproduce the problem with only one certificate, its private key and its authority certificate. I cannot send it since it contains sensible data. Doing some more tests.
