Signals¶

Custom django-ca signals.

django-ca adds a few custom Django signals to important events to let you execute custom actions when these events happen. Please see Django’s documentation on signals for further information on how to use signals.

If you installed django-ca from source, use the CA_CUSTOM_APPS setting to add a custom django app. Please see the Django documentation on apps if you need help on writing Django apps.
