Hi,
I'm happy to announce a new release of Djigzo.
Djigzo now has a built-in CA which you can use to issue certificates for
internal and external users. A certificate and private key can be
securely sent to an external user. The external user can use the
certificate with any S/MIME capable email client. The message sent to
the external recipient contains a link to a page with help on how to
install the pfx file
www.djigzo.com/help/import_pfx.html
Why issuing certificates to external users?
My experience is that users find it hard to get their own certificates
(from Comodo, Thawte etc.). Another problem is that users will lose
their certificates (and private key) because of a system crash etc. The
Djigzo CA server can function as a "key escrow" for these users because
the administrator can sent a copy of the certificate and key. Users that
do not trust or do not want to use the build-in CA can get their own
certificate from a commercial certificate vendor.
