Configuring a Certificate Manager to Publish Certificates and CRLs
Chapter 19 Setting Up LDAP Publishing 625
❍
Submit the CSR as an email to the CA’s administrator; to use this method,
you need to know the email address of the person who processes certificate
requests for the CA and you need to copy the CSR the wizard generates.
❍
Submit the CSR manually by pasting it into the Certificate Manager’s SSL
server enrollment form; to use this method, you need to copy the CSR the
wizard generates.
To generate a certificate request:
a.
In the Directory Server window, select the Tasks tab, and then click the
Certificate Setup Wizard button.
b.
Select the token for generating the key pair (and for storing the certificate).
Since you don’t have the certificate, select No.
If you’re generating the certificate for the first time, the wizard informs you
that it needs to create a trust database (
cert7.db
and
key3.db
files) for
Directory Server.
c.
When prompted for the password, enter the password.
Remember this password because you will be required to supply it when
starting Directory Server from now on. Once the trust database is
generated, the wizard steps for generating the CSR begin.
d.
You are asked to specify whether the certificate is for a new key pair or an
existing key pair and the method for submitting the CSR to the CA.
