To obtain a certificate from a certificate authority, submit a certificate signing request (CSR) using the key management utility (iKeyman). You can request either production or test certificates from a CA with a CSR. With the key management utility, generating a certificate signing request also generates a private key for the application for which the certificate is requested. The private key remains in the application keystore file, so it stays private. The public key is included in the certificate requested.
Before you begin
Read the file install_root/web/docs/ikeyman/ikmuserguide.pdf for further information about how to create a certificate signing request from a key database file.Steps for this task
cat certreq.arm |tr -d "\r" > new_certreq.arm
Results
The Personal Certificate Requests list shows the key label of the new digital certificate request you just created. Send the file to a CA to request a new digital certificate, or cut and paste the request into the request forms of the CA Web site.Example
What to do next
Once you submit the certificate signing request, wait for the CA to accept the request. After the CA has verified your identity, it sends back the signed certificate usually through e-mail. Receive the signed certificate back to the keystore file from which you generated the CSR.
