Installing the Default Demo
Chapter 3 Default Demo Installation 135
The installation and configuration of Certificate Management System is now
complete, and the Certificate Manager is running.
The user interface of Certificate Management System is now available through the
web gateways whose ports you specified during installation. You can access them
directly in a web browser by going to those ports using the appropriate protocol.
• The SSL agent gateway URL is:
https://<machine_name>.<your_domain>.<domain>:8100
• The SSL end-user gateway URL is:
https://<machine_name>.<your_domain>.<domain>:443
• The non-SSL end-user gateway URL is:
http://<machine_name>.<your_domain>.<domain>:80
Step 3. Get the First User Certificate
After you complete configuration of Certificate Management System with the
Installation Wizard, you must enroll for a certificate for the first agent. This is the
first user certificate that Certificate Management System issues.
The initial user is both an administrator and an agent. This person can use
Netscape Console to create additional agents with the appropriate user privileges
and use Agent Services to issue them certificates. Since there is no agent yet to
approve the request, a special enrollment form allows you to get this first certificate
automatically.
After you submit this initial Administrator/Agent Certificate Enrollment form, it is
automatically disabled, so that no one else can acquire a certificate without agent
approval or some form of automated authentication. The system automatically
adds the initial user to the list of agents.
Enrolling for the First Agent Certificate
To enroll for the first agent certificate, you should be working at the computer you
intend to use as the agent, so that the new certificate will be installed in the browser
you will be using to access the Agent Services pages. Follow these steps:
1.
Open a web browser window.
2.
Go to the URL for the SSL agent port (8100).
For example,
https://d9816-nt.siroe.com:8100
