Registration Manager Configuration
This section summarizes information required to configure a Registration Manager
(either by itself or as part of a joint installation with a Data Recovery Manager).
Registration Manager Signing Certificate
Request
When you install a Registration Manager, you must supply information for the
certificate that the Registration Manager will use to sign certificate requests. This
certificate also functions as the Registration Manager’s SSL client certificate. The
Installation Wizard formulates a certificate request on the basis of information you
provide. It is possible for the CA that issues the certificate to overrule some of your
decisions.
Key-Pair Information for Registration Manager Signing Certificate
• Token for storing the Registration Manager signing certificate and private
key____________________________________
Enter either
internal
(if you plan to use the internal token) or the name of an
external token. If you are using an external token, you will need to install it
before you run the Installation Wizard. In the wizard, you can select from a list
of already installed and available tokens. For example,
SmartCard
. For
installation instructions, see “Installing External Tokens” on page 451.
• Token password_________________________________________________
The password for the token must be at least one character long.
