Creating SSL certs using ACF

You are in need of creating certificate for remote persons. You might use something like openvpn or racoon for your vpn services. But wouldn't it be nice to have some sort of way to manage and view all the certs you have given to everyone? Revoke the certs? Review the certificate before you issue it? Alpine, via the ACF, has a nice web interface to use for this sort of job...
