The CA name is required only when you retrieve a CA certificate. It is not used
when in local certificate request.
Submitting a PKI
Certificate Request
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 that the CA may issue to the entity. A certificate request can be
submitted to a CA in two ways: online and offline. In offline mode, a certificate
request is submitted to a CA by an “out-of-band” means such as phone, disk, or
e-mail.
Online certificate request falls into two categories: manual mode and auto mode.
Submitting a Certificate
Request in Auto Mode
In auto mode, an entity automatically requests a certificate through the SCEP
protocol when it has no local certificate or the present certificate is about to
expire.
Follow these steps to configure an entity to submit a certificate request in auto
mode:
Submitting a Certificate
Request in Manual
Mode
In manual mode, you need to retrieve a CA certificate, generate a local RSA key
pair, and submit a local certificate request for an entity.
The goal of retrieving a CA certificate is to verify the authenticity and validity of a
local certificate.
