Issue

During the creation and initial configuration of a CA instance where the CA signing certificate is first created. the configuratiom wizard does not provide the option to select the signature algorithm. It is set to MD5withRSA.
Problem 1:If you were running the wizard to create the CA signing cert with RSA key and wanted a SHA-x signature, you will end up having to redo the CA signing certificate.
Problem 2: This will cause problems when the wizard is used to create the CA cert with ECC key
