Usage guidelines
A certificate request can be submitted to a CA in offline or online mode. In online mode, a certificate
request can be automatically or manually submitted:
•
Auto request mode—A PKI entity automatically obtains the CA certificate and submits a
certificate request to the CA when both of the following conditions exist:
An associated application (IKE, for example) performs identity authentication.

No certificate is available for the application on the device.

In auto request mode, specify the password for certificate revocation as required by the CA
policy.
•
Manual request mode—You must manually obtain the CA certificate and submit certificate
requests.
Examples

123456.
