Password Storage
Each subsystem stores passwords for its internal database, and for the tokens
containing its keys and certificates. See “System Passwords,” on page 250 for
information on how these passwords are stored.
Internal Database
Each Certificate Manager instance contains an internal database that stores
certificates, certificate requests and the like.
During installation, you set up this database by either choosing to create a new
database, or use an existing database, providing user IDs and passwords for special
users of the database, and the port the database will listen to requests on. You can
choose to use the same internal database for more than one subsystem by
specifying this when running the installation wizard to configure that subsystem.
You should carefully consider whether you want to store this information in a
separate internal database for each subsystem or use one internal database for all
subsystems installed on the host.
It’s recommended that you do not use this Directory Server instance for any other
purposes; the directory schema is configured for storing CMS data.
Tokens
You choose either the
internal
token (if you plan to use the internal/software
token) or an external token to store the signing certificate and key pair and the SSL
signing certificate and key pair.
If you are using an external token, you will need to install it before you run the
Installation Wizard. In the wizard, you can select from a list of already installed
and available tokens. For example,
SmartCard
. For installation instructions, see
“External Token” on page 314.
Installing a Certificate Manager
You install the subsystems by installing the CMS software on each host in which
you will install a subsystem, and then creating an instance of CMS in that
installation for each subsystem you want to configure on that host. CMS provides
an Installation Wizard that allows you to choose which subsystem you are
