2.8.1.2 Certificate Request
Registration authority certificates in SCEP
If SCEP (Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol) is used, your device also supports separ-
ate registration authority certificates.
Registration authority certificates are used by some Certificate Authorities (CAs) to handle
certain tasks (signature and encryption) during SCEP communication with separate keys,
and to delegate the operation to separate registration authorities, if applicable.
When a certificate is downloaded automatically, i.e. if CA Certificate =
'' 8"
''
is selected, all the certificates needed for the operation are loaded automatically.
If all the necessary certificates are already available in the system, these can also be se-
lected manually.
Select the Certificate Request button to request or import more certificates.
The menu System Management->Certificates->Certificate List->Certificate Request
consists of the following fields:
