Importing Certificates into Red Hat Servers

Importing Certificates into Red Hat Servers
Server certificates are imported via the server administration interface. Certificates are
pasted into a text input field in an HTML form, and then the form is submitted to the
administration server. Since the certificates are pasted into text fields, only the text formats
described above are supported for servers.
The type of certificate being imported is specified by the server administrator by selections
made on the administration pages. If a certificate chain is being imported, then the first
certificate in the chain must be the server or CA certificate, and the server adds any
subsequent certificates to the local database as untrusted CA certificates.

Object Identifiers

The base of all Red Hat object IDs is
redhat OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { 2 16 840 1 113730 }
The hexadecimal byte value of this OID, when DER-encoded, is
0x60, 0x86, 0x48, 0x01, 0x86, 0xf8, 0x42
The following OIDs are mentioned in this document:
redhat-data-type OBJECT IDENTIFIER :: = { redhat 2 }
redhat-cert-sequence OBJECT IDENTIFIER :: = { redhat-data-type 5 }
