8.2 How to Create a Certificate Request for CA
Certificates?
For using a CA certificate, a certificate request must be created in
the TPG60 and sent to the certification authority. The certification
authority will then create a CA certificate on the basis of the
certificate request. The CA certificate must be in base 64 format.
When the CA certificate has been received, it must be saved in the
TPG60.
When a certificate request is created on the TPG60 for the first time,
a list of parameters is displayed that are required for the certificate.
If a self-signed certificate or a CA certificate has already been saved
in the TPG60, the content of this certificate will be displayed. In this
case you have to delete the existing certificate first; see: ’How to
Delete Certificates?’

After the creation of a certificate request, no self-signed certificate
can be created until the CA certificate has been saved.
