Item Descri
p
tion
Requesting URL
Type the URL of the RA.
The entity will submit the certificate request to the server at this URL through the SCEP
protocol. The SCEP protocol is intended for communication between an entity and an
authentication authority.
In offline mode, this item is optional; while in other modes, this item is required.
TIP:
• In offline mode, this item is optional; while in other modes, this item is required.
• This item does not support domain name resolution.
LDAP IP
Type the IP address, port number, and version number of the LDAP server.
Usually, an LDAP server stores certificates and CRL information. In this case, the LDAP
server must be configured properly
Port
Version
Request Mode Select the online certificate request mode, which can be Auto or Manual.
Password Encrypt
When the certificate request mode is set to Auto, type a password for certificate
revocation and select the check box to display the password in cipher text.
Password
Hash
Specify the hash algorithm and fingerprint for verification of the CA root certificate.
Upon receiving the root certificate of the CA, an entity needs to verify the fingerprint of
the root certificate, namely, the hash value of the root certificate content. This hash value
is unique to every certificate. If the fingerprint of the root certificate does not match the
one configured for the PKI domain, the entity will reject the root certificate.
TIP:
The fingerprint of the CA root certificate is required when the certificate request mode is
Auto, and can be omitted when the certificate request mode is Manual. If it is omitted, you
need to verify the CA server by yourself.
Fingerprint
Polling Count
Set the polling interval and attempt limit for querying the certificate request status.
After an entity makes a certificate request, the CA may need a long period of time if it
verifies the certificate request in manual mode. During this period, the applicant needs to
query the status of the request periodically to get the certificate as soon as possible after
the certificate is signed. These two items dictate the polling operation.
Polling Interval
Enable CRL
Checking
Select this box to specify that CRL checking is required during certificate verification.
CRL Update Period
Type the CRL update period, that is, the interval at which the PKI entity downloads the
latest CRLs.
This item is available when the Enable CRL Checking check box is selected.
By default, the CRL update period depends on the next update field in the CRL file.
TIP:
The manually configured CRL update period takes precedent over that specified in the CRL
file.
