Agent Certificate for Other CMS Managers

If the CMS instance you installed doesn't include a Certificate Manager—for
example, if it's a standalone Registration Manager, Data Recovery Manager, or
Online Certificate Status Manager—you need to manually submit a client
certificate request to the CA and then install the certificate in the certificate
database of the CMS instance. Alternatively, if you have agent privileges to any of
the CMS managers, for example to a Certificate Manager, you can use the same
agent certificate for performing agent tasks of another CMS manager. This you can
do by storing a copy of the agent's SSL client certificate in the internal database of
the newly-installed CMS manager.
The instructions below assume that you already have a client certificate for a
Certificate Manager (whether the original administrator/agent certificate or a new
agent certificate) and want to use the same certificate for agent operations of
another CMS manager.
Make sure the Certificate Manager is started.
1.
Open a web browser window.
2.
Go to the end-entity interface of the Certificate Manager that issued the

certificate you want to use.
Select the Retrieval tab

Click List Certificates or Search for Certificates and locate the certificate (check

the subject name of the certificate).
Copy the certificate in its base-64 encoded format (or keep the browser
6.
window open so that you can copy the certificate later in this procedure).
