[Nfd-dev] Try NDNCERT (based on Interest-Data exchange) and get an NDN certificate today

[Junxiao Shi]

Hi Zhiyi

Option 2 of the instructions says:

A second option is to send CA an Interest with name
/ca/prefix/CA/_PROBE/INFO. To do so, a client can run the NDNCERT client
and type in NONE in the CA selection step and then input the target CA
prefix manually.


However, this does not work:
$ ndncert-client
Cannot load the configuration file: /usr/local/etc/ndncert/client.conf:
cannot open file

After copying client.conf.sample to client.conf, it still doesn't work:
$ ndncert-client
***************************************
Index: 0
CA prefix:/example
Introduction: An example NDNCERT CA
***************************************
Step 0: Please type in the CA INDEX that you want to apply or type in NONE
if your expected CA is not in the list
NONE
Step 1: Please type in the CA Name
Got NACK

The only thing I typed is "NONE". The "Got NACK" message appears before I'm
given a chance to type anything.

ndn-cxx and NFD version is 0.6.6 installed from PPA.
Client software version is
https://github.com/Zhiyi-Zhang/ndncert/tree/3b9a2501d60e90ec33845e021a500a9820bf9050

On the other hand, option 1 works, but it requires manual merging of JSON
objects.

Yours, Junxiao
