Certificates and Client Authentication

size is set to 512 bits, which is appropriate in most cases. Note
that export versions of Internet Explorer 4.x (40-bit encryption)
and Internet Explorer 5 (56-bit encryption) cannot import client
certificates with a larger key size than 512.

Assign a serial number to the client certificate, or accept the
suggested number. When generating a new client certificate, the
lowest available serial number is displayed in square brackets
and will be used unless you specify a different number. As you
generate more client certificates, the proposed serial number
increments automatically.

Decide whether to save the client certificate and define a

pass phrase for the private key.

You should save the client certificate and assign a certificate
index number to it. The lowest available index number available
is displayed in square brackets and will be used unless you
specify a different number.
