[Pki-users] Announcing the release of Dogtag 10.0.2

Fri May 3 16:57:07 UTC 2013

Hi, 

We're working on some more substantial documentation, and maybe some
javadocs.  In the meantime, there is some information on a wiki page:

http://pki.fedoraproject.org/wiki/REST

In particular, there is a section called "Current Implementation", which
has links to the relevant files in the code.  If you look at the
resource files, you'll see exactly which calls and URLs have been
implemented.

http://pki.fedoraproject.org/wiki/RESTEasy has more details on how to
interpret the files.

The java client framework is - by definition - complete, because
Resteasy provides a client framework.

The Python client framework will be expanded to include all operations
very soon.  For now, it just covers initial deployment operations.  

FreeIPA has implemented some python code to do things like listing and
querying certs and requests though in Python.
