Public Key Infrastructure

The Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) windows enable you to generate enrollment
requests and RSA keys, and manage keys and certificates. You can use the Simple
Certificate Enrollment Process (SCEP) to create an enrollment request and an
RSA key pair and receive certificates online, or create an enrollment request that
you can submit to a Certificate Authority (CA) server offline.
If you want to use Secure Device Provisioning (SDP) to enroll for certificates, see
Secure Device Provisioning.
This window allows you to select the type of enrollment you are performing. It
also alerts you to configuration tasks that you must perform before beginning
enrollment, or tasks that Cisco recommends you perform before enrolling.
Completing these tasks before beginning the enrollment process helps eliminate
problems that may occur.
Select the enrollment method Cisco SDM uses to generate the enrollment request.
If Cisco SDM finds that there are configuration tasks that should be performed
before you begin the enrollment process, it alerts you to them in this box. A link
is provided next to the alert text so that you can go to that part of Cisco SDM and
complete the configuration. If Cisco SDM does not discover missing
configurations, this box does not appear. Possible prerequisite tasks are described
