The really important ini file (for server communications) is the one for
the
RA (jonahra.ini). When the RA creates the pre-registration record it tells
the
End Entity how to talk to it. The pre-registration record delivery is an
out-of-band
process.

If you look at the jonahra.ini that is included in src/sampleini,
in the General section there is a Issuer1URL1 which tells the
RA how to talk to the CA (for now, we only support one CA per RA, and
each CA only has one way to talk to it)

The RA ini file should also have defined in the General section a
definition for
the NetworkName of the machine that the RA is running on. If one is not
specified
it defaults to "localhost".

If you want the CA or RA to run the service on a port other then 829 you
need to specify the TCPPort in the Transport section of the ini file. If
you
change this value on the CA you need to update the Issuer1URL1 setting on
the RA.

The INI files that got shipped work if all three servers are running on the
same machine.

Those screens are not active yet, they are still in the prototype stage
at this point, you can ignore them. All initialization is done by hand
through the steps outlined in the build document.

Hope this helps!
