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.
