Chapter 12 Administration
Enrolling and Installing Certificates Manually
Figure 12-32 Administration | Certificate Management | Enroll | Request Generated Screen
The Manager displays this screen when the system has successfully generated a certificate request.
Note You must complete the enrollment and certificate installation process within one week of generating
the request. If you do not, the pending request is deleted.
As the screen text indicates, within a few seconds, a browser window opens with the certificate request.
Figure 12-33 Example of a Certificate Request
You have generated a base 64 encoded PKCS#10 file (Public Key Certificate Syntax-10), which most
CAs recognize or require. The system automatically saves this file in Flash memory with the filename
shown in the browser (pkcsNNNN.txt).
In generating the request, the system also generates the private key used in the PKI process. That key
remains on the VPN Concentrator in encrypted form.
Step 6 Save the request in one of the following ways:
• Save the request to a file (to transmit the file to the CA via email or floppy disk).
• Select and copy the request to the clipboard, and then paste the request into an email to the CA.
• Copy and paste the request into the CA’s management interface via the Internet.
Some CAs let you paste the request in a web interface, some ask you to send a file; use the method your
CA requires.
