Thanks for the amazing tutorial. I was thinking it would be better to save the client-config directory in the CA rather than the server for the following reasons The CA files can be put on a removable drive for high security and used only when necessary no need to copy client.req to CA in order to sign it if server is compromised, then attacker can have access to the private key of client.
