Red Hat SummitChapter 1. About this guidance document
This guide contains documentation about understanding, installing, and configuring Red Hat Certificate System. It is structured into the following parts:
Part I, “Part I: Planning how to deploy Red Hat Certificate System”
Part II, “Part II: Installing Red Hat Certificate System”
Part III, “Part III: Configuring Red Hat Certificate System”
Chapter 16, Uninstalling Certificate System subsystems
Administrators not familiar with Red Hat Certificate System are strongly encouraged to read Part I, “Part I: Planning how to deploy Red Hat Certificate System” for a good understanding of Certificate System and plan ahead accordingly before following Part II, “Part II: Installing Red Hat Certificate System”.
Chapter 2, Introduction to Red Hat Certificate System provides a topical overview of several different parts of Certificate System. Chapter 4, Supported platforms lists various components and their supported version by Red Hat. Chapter 5, Planning the Certificate System contains helpful information for planning a Red Hat Certificate System installation.
Refer to Chapter 3, Supported Standards and Protocols for a list of compliant and supported standards and protocols.
To install Red Hat Certificate System in a compliant manner, follow the instructions in Part II, “Part II: Installing Red Hat Certificate System”. Begin with Chapter 6, Prerequisites for installation to prepare the base operating system. Follow Section 7.2, “Installing RHCS using the pkispawn utility”. Afterwards, follow the required post-installation steps in Section 7.13, “Post-installation” to ensure the complete installation is compliant. This last section links you to relevant parts of the guide which explains the steps to perform for full compliance.
If installation fails during the pkispawn phase (discussed in Section 7.2, “Installing RHCS using the pkispawn utility”), it is suggested to check your configuration carefully for mistakes and refer to the error logs. Prior to re-running the pkispawn utility to retry the installation, it is necessary to fully remove the old instance. Refer to Section 16.1, “Removing a subsystem” for information about removing subsystems.
For a more complete list of configuration options that are supported and compliant, refer to Part III, “Part III: Configuring Red Hat Certificate System”. This part can only be followed after the installation is complete.
