Figure 6-2 Online Certificate Enrollment

Step 4

Enter the enrollment parameters.

• For online enrollment enter:

–

Certificate Authority—The Common name or the Subject name of the CA Certificate. This

drop-down list contains a history of previously enrolled CA certificates. If you select a CA from

this list, the CA URL and the CA Domain fields are pre-populated. For <New> online

enrollments, you must enter the CA URL and the CA Domain manually.

–

CA URL—The URL or network address of the CA. For example,

http://198.162.41.9/certsrv/mcep/mcep.dll.

–

CA Domain—The CA's domain name. For example, qa2000.com.

–

Challenge Password—Some CAs require that you enter a password to access their site. Enter

this password in the Challenge Password field. Obtain the challenge password from your

administrator or from the CA.

–

New Password—The password for this certificate. Each digital certificate is protected by a

password. If you create a connection entry that requires a digital certificate for authentication,

you must enter the certificate password each time you attempt a connection.

• For file enrollment enter:

–

File encoding type of the output file.

Base-64—The default, is an ASCII-encoded PKCS10 file that you can display because it is in

a text format. Use this type when you want to cut and paste the text into the CA's website.

Binary—a base-2 PKCS10 (Public-Key Cryptography Standards) file. You cannot display a

binary-encoded file

–

Filename—The full pathname for the file request. For example,

/Users/Anna/Documents/Certificates/mycert.p10.

–

New Password—The password for this certificate. Each digital certificate is protected by a

password. If you create a connection entry that requires a digital certificate for authentication,

you must enter the certificate password each time you attempt a connection.
