Obtaining a

from VeriSign*
or Other
Authority Use the create key command to create your key and the create sign
command to create a signing request to be sent to VeriSign* or other
certificate authority for authentication. The certificate authority will
return it in approximately one to five days. After you have received
the certificate, use the import cert command to import it into the

must be modified to make the DN unique.
