# Build a new PKI which is rooted on an intermediate certificate generated
# by ./build-inter or ./pkitool --inter from a parent PKI.  The new PKI should
# have independent vars settings, and must use a different KEY_DIR directory
# from the parent.  This tool can be used to generate arbitrary depth
# certificate chains.
#
# To build an intermediate CA, follow the same steps for a regular PKI but
# replace ./build-key or ./pkitool --initca with this script.

# The EXPORT_CA file will contain the CA certificate chain and should be
# referenced by the OpenVPN "ca" directive in config files.  The ca.crt file
# will only contain the local intermediate CA -- it's needed by the easy-rsa
# scripts but not by OpenVPN directly.
