[Pki-users] Creation of a server certificate with an itermediary CA attribute

[Taggart, Michelle]

This might sound confusing, so let me rephrase.

Is there an existing template to create a subordinate CA certificate?  If not, is there a cheatsheet on creating one?  I am able to get to the pkiconsole piece to create a new profile, but I'm hoping that I don't have to create one because truthfully that piece is starting to become way over my head. ;)

Thanks,

I do see that.  What I'm confused is to what bits or attributes within the profile I need to include/exclude/add in order to make the sample Server Cert profile to also do CA function.

You could go into the directory /var/lib/pki-ca/profiles/ca

Find the profile you want to clone, which is in a file XXXX.cfg

Copy that file to a new name that you want.

Put an entry for that new profile in the conf/CS.cfg file under the heading:
profiles.list


Then you could either manually edit this file if you know how to, or use the pkiconsole to add stuff to it.

In order for the console to be able to edit a profile, it must be marked as "disabled" in the agent web interface.

Hi,

I'm quite new at the concept, but is there a way to clone a server certificate profile and give it an intermediary CA attribute?  I'm trying to generate a cert that a proxy server uses to decrypt SSL traffic.  The CSR that the proxy creates requests for a server certificate with subCA ability, for issuing certificates.

Thanks, 

Michelle T
