Figure 10-3 Request a certificate from a CA running Windows 2003 server
Configuration procedure
1) Configure the CA server
Install the certificate server suites
From the start menu, select Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs, and then select
Add/Remove Windows Components > Certificate Services and click Next to begin the installation.
Install the SCEP plug-in
As a CA server running the Windows 2003 server does not support SCEP by default, you need to
install the SCEP plug-in so that the switch can register and obtain its certificate automatically. After the
SCEP plug-in installation completes, a URL is displayed, which you need to configure on the switch as
the URL of the server for certificate registration.
Modify the certificate service attributes
From the start menu, select Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Certificate Authority. If the CA
server and SCEP plug-in have been installed successfully, there should be two certificates issued by
the CA to the RA. Right-click on the CA server in the navigation tree and select Properties > Policy
Module. Click Properties and then select Follow the settings in the certificate template, if
applicable. Otherwise, automatically issue the certificate.
Modify the Internet Information Services (IIS) attributes
From the start menu, select Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Internet Information Services
(IIS) Manager and then select Web Sites from the navigation tree. Right-click on Default Web Site
and select Properties > Home Directory. Specify the path for certificate service in the Local path text
box. In addition, you are recommended to specify an available port number as the TCP port number of
the default Web site to avoid conflict with existing services.
After completing the above configuration, check that the system clock of the switch is synchronous to
that of the CA server, ensuring that the switch can request a certificate normally.
2) Configure the switch
Configure the entity DN
# Configure the entity name as aaa and the common name as switch.
<Switch> system-view
[Switch] pki entity aaa
[Switch-pki-entity-aaa] common-name switch
[Switch-pki-entity-aaa] quit
Configure the PKI domain
# Create PKI domain torsa and enter its view.
[Switch] pki domain torsa
# Configure the name of the trusted CA as myca.
[Switch-pki-domain-torsa] ca identifier myca
