Requesting a local
certificate
Required.
When requesting a certificate, an entity introduces itself to the CA by
providing its identity information and public key, which will be the major
components of the certificate.
A certificate request can be submitted to a CA in online mode or offline
mode.
•
In online mode, if the request is granted, the local certificate will be
retrieved to the local system automatically.
•
In offline mode, you must retrieve the local certificate by an out-of-band
means.
IMPORTANT:
If a local certificate already exists, you cannot perform the local certificate
retrieval operation. This restriction avoids inconsistency between the certificate
and the registration information due to configuration changes. To retrieve a
new local certificate, you must remove the CA certificate and local certificate
first.
6.
Optional.
If the certificate to be retrieved contains an RSA key pair, you must destroy
the existing RSA key pair. Otherwise, you cannot retrieve the certificate.
Destroying the existing RSA key pair also destroys the corresponding local
certificate.
7.
Retrieving and displaying a
certificate
Required if you request a certificate in offline mode.
Retrieve an existing certificate and display its contents.
IMPORTANT:
•
If you request a certificate in offline mode, you must retrieve the CA
certificate and local certificate by an out-of-band means.
•
Before retrieving a local certificate in online mode, be sure to complete
LDAP server configuration.
8.
Optional.
Retrieve a CRL and display its contents.
Recommended configuration procedure for automatic request
Task Remarks
1.
Required.
Create a PKI entity and configure the identity information.
A certificate is the binding of a public key and the identity information of an
entity, where the DN shows the identity information of the entity. A CA
identifies a certificate applicant uniquely by an entity DN.
The DN settings of an entity must be compliant to the CA certificate issue
policy. Otherwise, the certificate request might be rejected. You must know
the policy to determine which entity parameters are mandatory or optional.
