Once a simple CMC Request, which contains a PKCS#10 request, has been generated, send it to the CA. The easiest method is to use the end-entities pages:
- Open the end-entities services pages.
http
s
://server.example.com:9444/ca/ee/ca/
- Select the caCMCUserCert profile.
- Paste in the CMC request.
Alternatively, use
HttpClient
to post it to the profile.
- Run the
AtoB
tool to convert the base-64-encoded PKCS #10 request to binary. - Use the
HttpClient
utility to send the request.There are several profiles where the CMC request can be sent, including/ca/ee/ca/profileSubmitCMCFull
and/ca/ee/ca/profileSubmitCMCSimple
. The profile must be specified in theHttpClient
configuration.
