<div>Hi Christina,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thank you so much. This is exactly I was looking for.</div>
<div>Looking at the ticket details, it seems quite old (the last response posted ~ 7 months ago).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I’ll give it a try and let you know how it goes.</div>

<div>Hi Christina,</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks for taking time to respond.</div>
<div>We already have clone setup using steps outlined in <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://man.sourcentral.org/f18/8+pkispawn">http://man.sourcentral.org/f18/8+pkispawn</a> and the setup works perfectly fine with no issues. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My question is related to Setting up Dogtag using private key and certificate generated via openSSL command separately (on a completely different host from Dogtag). </div>
<div>For example, If I delete the complete VM instance where Dogtag is running and reinstall, I could reuse the private key and certificate already generated via openSSL command earlier to setup new Dogtag instance without requiring to generate CSR and get
it signed with external CA (Ex: Symantec).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Hope this helps.</div>

<div>Hi Christina,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Here’s some detailed information:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I’m planning to setup intermediate CA with DogTag and issue SSL server certs.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I’m trying 2 options with DogTag setup:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><b>Option 1: Installing an externally signed CA</b></div>
<div>I followed the steps outlined in <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://man.sourcentral.org/f18/8+pkispawn">http://man.sourcentral.org/f18/8+pkispawn</a> and this setup works perfectly fine with no issues. </div>
<div>This option involves following steps:</div>
<ol>
<li>Generate a certificate signing request (CSR) for the signing certificate in DogTag setup phase 1
</li><li>Submit the CSR to the external CA (Ex: Symantec) </li><li>Obtain the resulting intermediate certificate and certificate chain </li><li>Continue with DogTag setup phase 2 </li></ol>
<div><b>Option 2: Installing an externally signed CA (One time setup of keys/CSR)</b></div>
<div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The desired steps are as follows:</div>
<ol>
<li>Generate a certificate signing request (CSR) for the signing certificate using
<b>OpenSSL</b> </li><li>Submit the CSR to the external CA (Ex: Symantec) </li><li>Obtain the resulting intermediate certificate and certificate chain </li><li>Store private key and certificate obtained in above steps in secured media so that it can be used later
</li><li>Setup DogTag using the private key (generated in step #1) and intermediate CA certificate (acquired in step #3)
</li></ol>
</div>
<div>
<div>The desired expectation in option #2 is to perform step 1-3 below once and then setup DogTag (or recreate VM) as many times I need using private key and certificate obtained earlier. This will prevent us from regenerating CSR and get it signed with external
CA (Ex: Symantec).</div>
</div>

<br>
If I read it correctly, you want to set up multiple CA's sharing the same singing cert/keys? Dogtag supports cloning. Did you look into that?<br>

<div>Hi Christina,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Sorry for the confusion. Let me rephrase the steps below if it is supported:</div>
<ol>
<li>Generate private key and CSR for intermediate CA using <b>openssl</b> </li><li>Submit the CSR to external CA (Ex: Symantec) for signing </li><li>Receive the signed certificate from CA </li><li>Setup DogTag with the private key (generated in step #1) and intermediate CA certificate (acquired in step #3)
</li></ol>
<div>I’m hoping this approach allows me to perform step 1-3 once and then setup DogTag as many times I need using the existing private key and certificate on any host.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Please let me know if you need further clarification.</div>

Hi, I'm sorry I read your questions a few times and I'm not certain what you wish to do. What would you like to use this certificate for? For example, is this an SSL server cert, or CA signing cert? etc. And you mean in another new Dogtag instance, or are
you talking about replacing certain system cert of the CA you just set up?<br>
