Using the Default Demo
You have now performed a basic installation and can use the installed demo
Certificate Manager to issue certificates. This section provides the following
exercises with which you can test the installation and practice using the system:
• “Verify the Installation,” (page 138): Accessing the various web gateways and
using the default versions of the forms to enroll for and issue a certificate.
• “Create a Policy,” (page 143): Configuring the Certificate Manager to reject
certificate requests that do not use at least 1024-bit key lengths.
• “Use an LDAP Directory,” (page 145): Adding a user to the configuration
directory you just installed and using directory-based authentication to enroll
as that user.
• “Publish Certificates to an LDAP Directory,” (page 150): Publishing client
certificates to the directory.
•
“Send Renewal Reminders,”
(page 156): Configuring the Certificate Manager
to send out automatic renewal reminders to entities whose certificates will be
expiring soon.
Verify the Installation
To verify that the installation is correct and complete, you will access each of the
different gateways for the various user interface pages: the SSL and non-SSL
end-user pages, and the Agent Services pages for the Certificate Manager. You will
use each set of pages to perform a basic task.
• In “Viewing Issued Certificates From the Agent Gateway,” you will view a list
of the certificates that the demo CA has issued so far.
