Re: [Ejbca-develop] Questions about ExtRA

[Tomas G. <to...@pr...>]

Yes only those messages are available ouf of the box.

The External RA is probably not useful for driving a GUI, due to the 
polling lag. This is why these other things have not been implemented, 
i.e. no-one has requested them.
In most production environments things like available CAs are so static 
it is much easier to configure this in the external RA application.

Here is described how to add new messages:
