PKI Made Easy – Exchange Certificate Wizard: How to Create and Install Self-Signed Certificates



CertGenWizard.exe is a wizard tool which will take your CA information as input (it isn't required if you are running the wizard on the box with the CA), take in the computer names (has to be FQDNs), and send out a request for the certificates you need. Now, you no longer have to fill out the Certificate Request form or enter parameters or connect to the web enrollment service. Once the certificates are approved, there is a Retrieve button in the CertGenWizard which will allow you to retrieve the certificates that you have requested. On top of the personal certificates, the wizard will retrieve the root CA certificate.




PKI Made Easy – Exchange Certificate Wizard



Use the Exchange certificate wizard: A common error when you create certificates is to forget one or more common names that are required for the services that you want to use. The certificate wizard in the Exchange admin center helps you include the correct list of common names in the certificate request. The wizard lets you specify the services that will use the certificate, and includes the common names that you need to have in the certificate for those services. Run the certificate wizard when you've deployed your initial set of Exchange 2016 or Exchange 2019 servers and determined which host names to use for the different services for your deployment.


To make renewing a certificate easier, DigiCert automatically includes the information from the expiring certificate in our renewal wizard. However, because you're ordering a new certificate, you can update any of the information during the order process, if needed.


If you don't already have certificates to use for this purpose, they can be createdusing the OpenVPN easy-rsa utility. For detailed steps to generate the server and clientcertificates and keys using the OpenVPNeasy-rsa utility, and import them into ACM see Mutual authentication.


One of the questions we're most often asked is, "how do I download and install my Digital Certificate to my phone?" If you want to encrypt emails or authenticate to corporate networks using your mobile device, installing the certificate can be a bit of a barrier. Fortunately, Digital Certificates are compatible with most of the leading mobile operating systems, so it's easy to implement and enforce the same security policies, even on mobile devices.


Before you set up ConfigMgr CMG, one thing that you must really work on is the CMG certificates. I have not included this info under SCCM CMG prerequisites section because this topic is quite complex. However, I will try my best to make it easy for you.


Our PKI Entreprise product work by interfacing your intern process (ID management for example) with our issuing certificate infrastructure. We provide an HTTP API (easy to implement) that gives you access to 3 major functions (order, revoke and download).


Self-signed certificates are easy to make and use. They are best suited for use within relatively small trading groups. This is because you must implicitly trust a partner's self-signed certificate; there is no chain of trust to independently vouch for the certificate. Such a trust relationship can more suitably be managed among a small number of partners.


The use of self-signed certificates relies on users to exchange certificates and establish trust in each other. This informal web of trust works for small groups, but can become unmanageable for large numbers of partners. In contrast, an in-house or outsourced PKI uses hierarchies, where a certificate authority serves as a trust anchor for many users. Once trust has been established for the certificate authority, it is unnecessary to re-establish the trust for other certificates the CA issues. Establishing hierarchies of users scales equally well for small and large groups.


Before you can exchange encrypted and signed documents with a trading partner, each of you must obtain the other's public key. You do this after you have created your company profile. Each of you generates a self-signed certificate or obtains one from a certificate authority (CA). Either way, the process creates a public-private key pair for your company profile. The private half of this key pair always remains on your computer. The public half is exported to a file and distributed to your trading partners on diskette by a secure means.


The following describes how to exchange profiles and certificates with your WebLogic Integration trading partners. In all cases, it is recommended that you confirm the certificate fingerprint with your trading partner before exchanging documents.


When you update a non-HTTPS certificate for your company profile (that is, one used to encrypt documents exchanged), you must carefully coordinate the timing of the update with your partners. If possible, you should perform such updates when your server is not processing outbound documents. By observing this precaution you can avoid documents being rejected by your trading partners.


Note: Before you attempt to exchange encrypted and signed documents, you should contact each partner with whom you exchanged certificates and confirm that the fingerprints in both your certificates are identical. For more information see Certificate Window.


Note: Before you attempt to exchange encrypted and signed documents, contact the partner and confirm that the fingerprints in the certificate you imported are identical to the partner's. For more information see Certificate Window.


WebLogic Integration - Business Connect enables you to check your partners' certificates against CRLs. When you direct WebLogic Integration - Business Connect to use CRLs, your partners' certificates are checked each time documents are exchanged. For example, when a partner sends you an encrypted document, WebLogic Integration - Business Connect checks the certificate associated with the inbound document against the CRL. If the certificate is on the CRL, WebLogic Integration - Business Connect rejects the inbound document.


To add a Root CA certificate in FireFox is now-a-days very easy. Just open preferences, go to "Privacy & Security", scroll down to "Certificates" and click "View Certificates...". Here you can click "Import Certificate". Point to your root CA (.pem) and OK. That's all folks. 2ff7e9595c
