It has been more than a few years since Red Hat acquired
the gifted development team and assets behind Red Hat Directory Server and Red Hat Certificate System. Early in that relationship, Red Hat stated its intent to make the projects open source, with the Fedora Directory Server an early output of that work.
Adding to the experience of opening and running Fedora Directory Server and the new freeIPA initiative, the Dogtag team has licensed the entire certificate system as open source. Bob Lord announced it in his post:
… I’m extremely happy to announce the release of the Certificate System source code to the world.
This isn’t a “Lite” or demo version of the technology, but the entire source code repository, the one we use to build the Red Hat branded version of the product. It’s the real deal.
Our main wiki page will be here:

If you are going to be at the April 2008 RSA Conference in San Francisco, Anil Saldhana invites anyone to stop by the Red Hat booth to chat about IPA, PKI, open source, etc.
