Hi,

I am currently using ejbca_4_0_3. Is there any way to export the private keys directly from the database? Is there an interface that will allow the user access to the database so the user can export his keys?

You can upgrade to 4.0.4 without exporting anything.
If end users had access to the database, this would be the most insecure application in the history of the internet :-)

The CA generally does not store private keys of users, only if key recovery is enabled. You should get well familiar with the concepts of PKI and how it works, and how the (client) softwares you are using works.
If your users for example uses a web browser the web browser stores the users private key, not the CA.

This is not a support forum though so I advice you to go to ejbca.org to find the right place to learn about PKI.
