Hi Anatoly,

The "lightweight sub-CAs" feature lets you host sub-CAs within an
existing Dogtag instance:

http://pki.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Lightweight_sub-CAs

Use the `pki ca-authority' CLI commands to create and manage
lightweight CAs.

This feature was developed for FreeIPA to use, so it is not
documented as a standalone feature of Dogtag.  It is also not a
supported part of standalone RHCS deployments.

But most of what you need should be in the link above or discernable
from the `pki ca-authority' CLI commands available to you.  Feel
free to reply with any follow-up questions you have.

Cheers,
Fraser
