Working with Certificate Requests
The workflow for requesting and installing an identity certificate on an EncrypTight appliance is as
follows:
1 Generate a certificate signing request.
2 Send the request to a CA. If the request is approved, the CA returns a signed certificate.
3 Install the signed certificate on the appliance.
Only one certificate request is allowed on the appliance. Prior to creating a new certificate request you
must cancel the existing one.
