Yes, it’s the SSL secure server port.
Select this option if the end entity port
number you specified is the SSL port for end entities.
2.
Click Next to submit your request to the CA.
The Certificate Manager returns a request ID for your request. Note the request
ID as you can use it later to get the certificate from the Certificate Manager to
which you submitted the request.
The request you submitted gets queued for agent approval—an agent needs to
process and approve the certificate request, which the CA signs then and
delivers back to the email address specified in the request. You can contact the
CA agent to find out when the certificate will be delivered to you. If you have
agent privileges to the Certificate Manager, you can log in to its agent interface
and approve the request yourself.
3.
Once the certificate has been issued, you can use the request ID to import the
certificate into the wizard. Alternatively, you can also install the certificate
following the instructions in “Using the Wizard to Install a Certificate or
Certificate Chain” on page 452.
Sending the CSR Manually to an Internal CA
The following instructions assume that your internally deployed CA is a Certificate
Manager and that you are using the default HTML forms provided for end-entity
enrollment. If you have customized these forms, you should follow the appropriate
instructions.
To send the certificate signing request (CSR) manually to an internal CA:
1.
Copy the CSR, including the marker lines
-----BEGIN NEW CERTIFICATE
REQUEST-----
and
-----END NEW CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----
, to a text file.
If you are running the wizard on a Windows NT system, you can also copy the
CSR to the Windows clipboard. In a Unix system, you may have to open an
application, such as Netscape Composer, with a clipboard.
2.
Open a web browser window.
3.
Enter the URL to the CA’s home page.
By default, the CA’s home page is the end entity services interface. Depending
on the port at which the CA is listening to end-entity requests (see “End-Entity
Ports” on page 361) the URL to the end entity services is one of the following:
http://<hostname>:<end_entity_port>
or
https://<hostname>:<end_entity_port>
, where
<hostname>
is in the form
<machine_name>.<your_domain>.<domain>
The end entity services interface appears.
