Yes we have it setup and running. There were a couple items not mentioned in
the docs. That being that you must use DNS and FDQN when identifying the CA
in the router, the router must have an A record in the DNS and that the CA
identity is not simply a nmemonic but needs to be the name of the CA root
cert exactly as it appears on the cert.... case sensitive.
