Hej Dirk,

Somewhere here:

modules/ca/src/client/casw.cpp:106: caStartRepeaterIfNotInstalled (

repeaterPort );

I think that once the repeater is has died, it has died.
Even if a new one is started, clients need to re-register.
Pretty unsure, if that is the case.
But I can dig deeper into this tomorrow, if we don't have a better
answer from an expert.

Hi experts,

I have a question concerning the caRepeater and have difficulties to find the
answer in the source code or documentation.

If a CA client has registered to the caRepeater but then the caRepeater dies
before the client, will the client try to re-connect, possibly starting its own
caRepeater or will it be without caRepeater support for the rest of its life
time?
