Create Certificates in a Windows Environment
A quick reminder for a certreq.inf file
[NewRequest] Subject = "CN=name" KeyLength = 2048 Exportable = TRUE MachineKeySet = TRUE [RequestAttributes] CertificateTemplate = "Template Name"
Type
certreq.exe -new
and supply the above file in the open file dialog. Then, specify a file to save the request in. Take the request (base-64 – cut’n'paste will do) to a CA and submit it. Take the response certificate back to the machine (base-64 again) and type
certreq.exe -acceppt "response.cer"
You will the find a certificate in the machine store (MachineKeySet = TRUE). Of course, template and usage must match
UPDATE: Just found an article that relates to this one.
About
Originally this site was intended as a project site. The goal was to define standards for the perimeterless network using
open-source software. To be honest I simply do not have the time for such a thing. So what is left is a blog with sporadic
posts that are either helpful for myself or I think are helpful for others, too since I had a hard time finding information
on the Internet. Think of it as a knowledge base.
Ehm yes, somtimes I write down my two cents on any topic that may go through my mind at that point in time ;-)
