Adding a Certificate Request
You can add multiple certificate requests with Oracle Wallet Manager. When adding
multiple requests, Oracle Wallet Manager automatically populates each subsequent
request dialog box with the content of the initial request that you can then edit.
The actual certificate request becomes part of the wallet. You can reuse any
certificate request to obtain a new certificate. However, you cannot edit an existing
certificate request. Store only a correctly filled out certificate request in a wallet.
To create a PKCS #10 certificate request:
1.
Choose Operations
>
Add Certificate Request . The Add Certificate
Request dialog box appears.
2.
Enter the information specified in Table 8–5 .
3.
Choose OK. A message informs you that a certificate request was
successfully created. You can either copy the certificate request text from the
body of this dialog panel and paste it into an e-mail message to send to a
certificate authority, or you can export the certificate request to a file.
4.
Choose OK to return to the Oracle Wallet Manager main window. The
status of the certificate changes to [Requested].
