3.3. Copying certificates from Active Directory using sftp


To be able to use smart card authentication, you need to copy the following certificate files:

  • A root CA certificate in the CER format: adcs-winserver-ca.cer on your IdM server.
  • A user certificate with a private key in the PFX format: aduser1.pfx on an IdM client.
注意

This procedure expects SSH access is allowed. If SSH is unavailable the user must copy the file from the AD Server to the IdM server and client.

Procedure

  1. Connect from the IdM server and copy the adcs-winserver-ca.cer root certificate to the IdM server:

    root@idmserver ~]# sftp Administrator@winserver.ad.example.com
    Administrator@winserver.ad.example.com's password:
    Connected to Administrator@winserver.ad.example.com.
    sftp> cd _<path_to_certificates>_
    sftp> ls
    adcs-winserver-ca.cer    aduser1.pfx
    sftp>
    sftp> get adcs-winserver-ca.cer
    Fetching _<path_to_certificates>_/adcs-winserver-ca.cer to adcs-winserver-ca.cer
    _<path_to_certificates>_/adcs-winserver-ca.cer                 100%  1254    15KB/s 00:00
    sftp quit
  2. Connect from the IdM client and copy the aduser1.pfx user certificate to the client:

    [root@client1 ~]# sftp Administrator@winserver.ad.example.com
    Administrator@winserver.ad.example.com's password:
    Connected to Administrator@winserver.ad.example.com.
    sftp> cd /_<path_to_certificates>_
    sftp> get aduser1.pfx
    Fetching _<path_to_certificates>_/aduser1.pfx to aduser1.pfx
    _<path_to_certificates>_/aduser1.pfx                 100%  1254    15KB/s 00:00
    sftp quit

    Now the CA certificate is stored in the IdM server and the user certificates is stored on the client machine.
