Hi,

Will that help as a client?
https://fedorahosted.org/certmonger/

It will work with IPA v2 which in turn will embed CA&RA and would not
require manual approval.
Community release of IPA v2 has now shifted to the beginning of next year.
You can read about IPA on www.freeIPA.org.
If it does not come up please try again a day later. There are some DNS
issues being sorted out. The site just moved from one place into another
and is not fully back online but we expect it to get online any day.
