FWIW, Red Hat has open sourced the certificate management system it 
acquired when it purchased a number of assets from Netscape (the 
Netscape LDAP server has already been open sourced by Red Hat known 
under the name Directory Server).

The certificate server which Red Hat open sourced is essentially the 
same one used by the DoD (Department of Defence) and many other high end 
enterprise clients. The open source version is known as DogTag.

The effort required to make Certificate Server available as open source 
was formidable, however Red Hat has a strong commitment to open source 
and I'm proud of the initiative by my collogues who made this 
sophisticated PKI technology available to everyone.
