Configuration guidelines
When you configure PKI, note the following guidelines:
• Make sure the clocks of entities and the CA are synchronous. Otherwise, the validity period of
certificates will be abnormal.
• The Windows 2000 CA server has some restrictions on the data length of a certificate request. If the
PKI entity identity information in a certificate request goes beyond a certain limit, the server will not
respond to the certificate request.
• The SCEP add-on is required when you use the Windows Server as the CA. In this case, you need
to specify RA as the authority for certificate request when configuring the PKI domain.
• The SCEP add-on is not required when you use the RSA Keon software as the CA. In this case, you
need to specify CA as the authority for certificate request when configuring the PKI domain.
