Item Description
Fingerprint Hash
Fingerprint
Specify the fingerprint used for verifying the CA root certificate.
After 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.
• If you specify MD5 as the hash algorithm, enter an MD5 fingerprint. The fingerprint
must a string of 32 characters in hexadecimal notation.
• If you specify SHA1 as the hash algorithm, enter an SHA1 fingerprint. The
fingerprint must a string of 40 characters in hexadecimal notation.
• If you do not specify the fingerprint hash, do not enter any fingerprint. The entity will
not verify the CA root certificate, and you yourself must make sure that the CA
server is trusted.
IMPORTANT:
The fingerprint must be configured if you specify the certificate request mode as Auto. If
you specify the certificate request mode as Manual, you can leave the fingerprint settings
null. If you do not configure the fingerprint, the entity will not verify the CA root certificate
and you yourself must make sure that the CA server is trusted.
Polling Count
Polling Interval
Set the polling interval and attempt limit for querying the certificate request status.
After an entity makes a certificate request, the CA might 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.
Enable CRL Checking Select this option to enable CRL checking for certificate verification.
CRL Update Period
Enter the interval at which the PKI entity downloads the latest CRLs for CRL checking.
By default, the CRL update period depends on the next update field in the CRL file.
CRL URL
Enter the URL of the CRL distribution point by an IP address or domain name for CRL
checking.
When the URL of the CRL distribution point is not set, first obtain the CA certificate and
a local certificate, and then obtain a CRL through SCEP.
Generating an RSA key pair
1. From the navigation tree, select Authentication > Certificate Management.
2. Click the Certificate tab.
