2.
Go to the URL for the SSL agent port.
By default, this is a URL of the following form:
https://<hostname>:<agent_port>
❍
For
<hostname>
, provide the fully qualified name of the machine on which
Certificate Management System is installed; for example,
CAmachine.siroe.com
.
❍
The
<agent_port>
is the TCP port specified during installation for agent
communications over SSL.
The first time you access this port, the system opens the Administrator/Agent
Certificate Enrollment form.
Because you have accessed an SSL port, Certificate Management System
presents its server SSL certificate to your browser for authentication. This is the
server SSL certificate that you created during installation. Because you just
created it, it is not on your browser’s list of trusted certificates. Before you see
the Administrator/Agent Certificate Enrollment form, a series of dialog boxes
appears that lets you add the CMS server certificate to your list of trusted
certificates.
3.
Complete the dialog boxes as instructed (the exact procedure depends on the
browser you are using).
4.
In the Administrator/Agent Certificate Enrollment form, enroll for a client SSL
certificate as the system’s first privileged user by entering the following
information:
Authentication Information
User ID. Type the ID you entered for the CMS administrator during
installation.
Password. Type the password you specified for the CMS administrator
during installation.
Subject Name
The subject name is the distinguished name (DN) that identifies the certified
owner of the certificate.
Full name. Type the name of administrator/agent.
Login name. Type the user ID of administrator/agent.
Email address. Type the email address of administrator/agent.
