Step A. Decide a Directory Entry for Requesting a Certificate
Decide on a user entry for which you will request a certificate. This way, you can
check whether the Certificate Manager published the certificate to that entry. The
entry you choose could be any end-entity's directory entry, as long as it supports
the
userCertificate;binary
If you don't have a directory entry yet, you can create one for testing purposes.
Step B. Request a Certificate
The steps outlined below explain how to request a personal certificate from the
Certificate Manager using the manual enrollment method. If you've configured the
Certificate Manager for automated certificate issuance, for example for
directory-based enrollment, you can use the appropriate form and request a
certificate.
To request a client or personal certificate from the Certificate Manager:
Open a web browser window.
1.
Go to the end-entity interface of the Certificate Manager you configured (or to
2.
the Registration Manager that's connected to this Certificate Manager). The
URL is in this form:
https://<hostname>:<end_entity_HTTPS_port>
http://<hostname>:<end_entity_HTTP_port>
In the left frame, under Browser, select Manual.
3.
This opens the manual enrollment form.
Fill in all the values and submit the request.
4.
The client prompts you to enter the password for your key database.
When you enter the correct password, the client generates the key pairs.
5.
Do not interrupt the key-generation process.
Step C. Approve the Request
Skip this step if you used an automated enrollment method for requesting the
certificate. Complete this step if you used the manual enrollment form for
requesting the certificate; the request you submitted is waiting in the agent queue
for approval by an agent.
