Installation#
To install a CA subsystem instance, become the root user, and execute the following commands:
$ pkicreate -pki_instance_root=/var/lib \
Configuration#
Configuration of this PKI subsystem can be accomplished in one of three ways:
(1) The configuration URL is present on the screen. When this occurs, something similar to the following should appear on the screen (e. g. - Dogtag 1.3):
**NOTE: ** |
Default secure ca port: Default ca port: |
9443 9080 |
**NOTE: ** |
Dogtag 9.0 uses a master
daemon, ‘pki-cad’, with an
optional specific instance
(e. g. - ‘/sbin/service pki-cad
start | stop | restart [CA
instance])!
|
Invoke a browser, insert the configuration URL, and follow the step-by-step instructions displayed in each panel.
IMPORTANT: When finished, don’t forget to restart this PKI instance before attempting to use it!
(2) If the user no longer has access to the configuration URL displayed on the screen, one can find the configuration URL at the end of the /var/log/<instance name>-install.log. For example:
**NOTE: ** |
The pin is also stored in the /etc/<instance name>/CS.cfg file as the preop.pin parameter. |
The ca port is also stored in the /etc/<instance name>/server.xml file as the first uncommented “non-SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector” Connector port parameter. |
Invoke a browser, insert the configuration URL, and follow the step-by-step instructions displayed in each panel.
IMPORTANT: When finished, don’t forget to restart this PKI instance before attempting to use it!
(3) PKI subsystems can also be configured “automatically” by creating and using the pkisilent component with a predefined profile.
