Obtaining a Certificate for the Certificate Authority
The Intermediate Certificate Request page displays the certificate signing request for the certificate authority’s
intermediate certificate. This page is also used to renew the certificate authority’s intermediate certificate when it is
close to expiring.
You can copy the certificate signing request in text format using your Web browser. Use this option when you can
paste the request directly into another application to obtain a certificate.
You can click the Download the current CSR link to download the certificate signing request as a file. Use this
option when you need to provide the certificate signing request as a file to obtain a certificate.
Once you have obtained the certificate, click the Install a signed certificate link to continue configuring the
intermediate certificate authority. See "Installing a Certificate Authority’s Certificate " on page 88.
You can also click the Change CA settings link to return to the main Certificate Authority Settings form. Use
this option to switch to a root CA, or to change the name or properties of the intermediate CA and reissue the
certificate signing request.
