Description dthbg 2010-02-15 13:00:18 UTC
Version:           2.0.11-svn1008232 (2009-07-29) (using 4.1.4, compiled sources)
Compiler:          i586-mingw32msvc-gcc
OS:                Microsoft Windows (i686) release 5.1 (XP Professional)

I intended to create an X.509 certificate for signing software setup achives that I produce with InnoSetup.
In order to create the certificate I chose "New certificate" from the file menu and selected "X.509". Then I filled out the necessary fields, on the Advanced Tab I only checked the "Signing" box. After clicking the create certificate button I was prompted to enter a passphrase (3 times). After that, I got a dialog saying "Certificate created successfully". I clicked "Save the request to file" and was warned to send the request to a CA by e-mail. I clicked the "Send request" button and then received a message box saying something like"Kleoptra intended to send the request by my standard e-mail client; some clients fail sending these kind of mails ... If this doesn't work either you can save the request and attach it to the e-mail".
Unfortunately no e-mail address shows up. So where to send it to?
How can one find out whether the e-mail was sent succesfully? By the way: my mail client is Outlook Express/XP.
In the Kleopatra certificate server settings I have an entry like this: Protocol: ldap, Server: server,
Server Port: 389, Basic DN: <nothing>, X.509: checked, OpenPGP: unchecked. I could imagine something is wrong with the Server name "server", but I neither know how to enter a server name nor which server name to enter.
Thank you all in advance for assistence!
Best greetings from Hamburg

Hi,
This is not a Bug in the Software Kleopatra. Please read the gpg4win-compendium to better understand how the certficate creation works and what you are trying to do.
If you have questions about the usage of kleopatra / gpg4win you can try to ask in the gpg4win community http://www.gpg4win.de/community.html
