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 are 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 is
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 mechanism helps avoid possible mismatch
between the local certificate and registration information resulting from
relevant 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, the certificate cannot be
retrieved. 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
Step Remarks
1.
Required.
Create a PKI entity and configure the identity information.
A certificate is the binding of a public key and an entity, where an entity
is the collection of the identity information of a user. A CA identifies a
certificate applicant by entity.
The identity settings of an entity must be compliant to the CA certificate
issue policy. Otherwise, the certificate request might be rejected.
