Hi, we have an Organizational Account in place with CACert for Vanderbilt University and are exploring the widespread deployment of email certificates for our userbase, consisting of up to 45,000 users in any given academic year.  These certs would be issued on demand (as the users claimed them, if they so choose to) so an API is definitely what we’re looking for.  The Wiki page http://wiki.cacert.org/CertApi does mention an API, but does not include the parameters to include the organizational information unique to Organizational Accounts.  Is this a secondary API that could be made under trivial efforts?  Also, is there any ability to have the API utilize certificate validation rather than username/password validation?
