Generating Files Required By Third-Party Object
Signing Tools
Note: This feature is supported in the legacy enrollments only. When issuing an
object-signing certificate to Microsoft IE, CMS can generate a certificate (
.CER
) and
a private key (
.PVK
) files for use by Microsoft
signcode
tool or any third-party sign
tools that rely on these files. For the server to generate these files, you must edit the
default form provided for requesting an object-signing certificate for browsers.
To generate the private-key file:
1.
Go to this directory:
<server_root>/cert-<instance_id>/web-apps/ee
2.
Locate the file named
ManObjSignEnroll.html
.
3.
Open it in an editor.
4.
Search for this line:
Enroll.GenKeyFlags = 1 ’ key exportable
