Enable the End Entity pages for CMC Enrollment
You submit signed requests to the Certificate Manager by submitting them directly
to the Certificate Manager. You can also submit them using the end-entity interface
of the Certificate Manager or a Registration Manager. CMS provides a CMC
Enrollment form called
CMCEnrollment.html
. The default configuration of this
form does not include the field needed to paste your enrollment request. If you
want to use this form to submit requests, you must change the configuration so that
this field is available.
To enable the CMC Enrollment form for the end-entity interface of a Certificate
Manager:
1.
Go to the directory
<server-root>/cert-<instance>/web-apps/ee/ra
.
2.
Open the file
CMCEnrollment.html.
3.
Find the following line:
<form method="post" action="/enrollment" onSubmit="return
validate(document.forms[0])">
4.
Add the following line below the line you just found:
<input type="hidden" name="authenticator" value="CMCAuth">
