Step B. Request a Certificate

The steps outlined below explain how to request a client 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 may use the appropriate form and request a
certificate.
To request a client or personal certificate from the Certificate Manager:
Go to the end-entity interface of the Certificate Manager you configured (or to
1.
the Registration Manager that's connected to this Certificate Manager).
The URL is in this form:
http://<hostname>:<end_entity_HTTP_port>
In the left frame, under Browser, click Manual.
2.
This opens the manual enrollment form.
Fill in all the values and submit the request.
3.
The client prompts you to enter the password for your key database.
