Configuration procedure

To configure a PKI domain:
Step

2. Create a PKI domain and
enter its view.
3. Specify the trusted CA.
4. Specify the entity for
certificate request.
5. Specify the authority for
certificate request.
6. Configure the certificate
request URL.
7. Configure the polling interval
and attempt limit for querying
the certificate request status.
8. Specify the LDAP server.
9. Configure the fingerprint for
root certificate verification.

Submitting a PKI certificate request

When requesting a certificate, an entity introduces itself to the CA by providing its identity information
and public key, which will be the major components of the certificate. A certificate request can be
submitted to a CA in offline mode or online mode. In offline mode, a certificate request is submitted to
a CA by an "out-of-band" means such as phone, disk, or email.
