[Pki-users] Configure externally acquired private key and certificate

[Jain, Mahendra]

Hi Christina,

Sorry for the confusion. Let me rephrase the steps below if it is supported:

  1.  Generate private key and CSR for intermediate CA using openssl
  2.  Submit the CSR to external CA (Ex: Symantec) for signing
  3.  Receive the signed certificate from CA
  4.  Setup DogTag with the private key (generated in step #1) and intermediate CA certificate (acquired in step #3)

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.

Please let me know if you need further clarification.

Thanks,
Mahendra

Hi,

I’ve DogTag 10.1.2 setup with externally signed CA (using the steps outline in the link below) and the setup works perfectly fine:

I would like to know if DogTag also supports configuring externally acquired private key and certificate.

In other words, If I generate the private key and CSR using openssl and submit CSR to CA for certificate.
Once the CA issued the certificate, I would like to setup DogTag using the existing private key (created using openssl) and certificate.

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?

Thanks,
Mahendra
