Note that the request gets added to the agent queue of the remote
Certificate Manager for approval by that Certificate Manager’s agent.
If you’ve permission to access that Certificate Manager’s Agent
interface, you can follow the instructions below to issue the certificate.
Otherwise, you should wait for the remote Certificate Manager’s agent
to approve your request and issue the certificate.
IV.
Open a web browser window.
V.
Enter the URL for the remote Certificate Manager’s Agent Services
page. (You must have a valid agent’s certificate.)
VI.
Select List Requests, click Show Pending Requests, and then click Find.
VII.
In the pending request list, locate your request, click Details to see the
request, and make any changes. Then, scroll down to the bottom of the
form, and click Do It.
VIII.
After the certificate is generated, click Show Certificate.
IX.
When the certificate is displayed, scroll down to the base-64 encoded
version of the certificate, highlight all the text (including
-----BEGIN
CERTIFICATE -----
and
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
), and copy it
to the clipboard or to a text file.
Be sure to not make any changes to the certificate. You’re required to
paste the encoded certificate into the Installation Wizard next. So, once
you’ve copied the certificate, go back to the wizard screen (Step 31).
❍
To submit your certificate request manually to a remote Certificate
Manager, follow these steps:
I.
Open a web browser window.
II.
Go to the end-entity URL for the remote Certificate Manager that will
issue the subordinate CA’s SSL server certificate.
For example, if you assigned the port number 17006 to the non-SSL
end-entity port for your root CA, you would go to the URL
http://<hostname>:17006
to bring up the Certificate Manager page
for end entities.
III.
Click Manual Server Certificate Enrollment, or click Agent-Based
Server Certificate Enrollment if you have an agent certificate. If you
choose Agent-Based Server Certificate Enrollment and you have an
agent certificate, the certificate will be automatically issued once you
submit the request.
