Manually requesting a certificate
Before you manually submit a certificate request, make sure the CA certificate exists and a key pair
is specified for the PKI domain.
•
The CA certificate is used to verify the authenticity and validity of the obtained local certificate.
•
The key pair is used for certificate request. Upon receiving the public key and the identity
information, the CA signs and issues a certificate.
After the CA issues the certificate, the device obtains and saves it locally.

This command triggers the PKI
entity to automatically generate
a key pair if the key pair
specified in the PKI domain
does not exist. The name,
algorithm, and length of the key
pair are configured in the PKI
domain.
Aborting a certificate request
Before the CA issues a certificate, you can abort a certificate request and change its parameters,
such as the common name, country code, or FQDN. You can use the
display pki certificate
request-status
command to display the status of a certificate request.
Alternatively, you also can remove a PKI domain to abort the associated certificate request.

Obtaining certificates
You can obtain the CA certificate, local certificates, and peer certificates related to a PKI domain from
a CA and save them locally for higher lookup efficiency. To do so, use either the offline mode or the
online mode:
