Description
This command creates a certificate enrollment request. You create an
enrollment request when you want a public or private CA to issue a
certificate.
Before you can create an enrollment request, you must create the key pair
that you want the CA to use when creating the certificate. The enrollment
request will contain the public key of the key pair. To create a key pair,
refer to “CREATE PKI CERTIFICATE” on page 508.
You must also set the system’s distinguished name before using this
command. For a explanation of distinguished names, refer to Chapter 27,
“PKI Certificates and SSL” in the AT-S63 Management Software Menus
Interface User’s Guide. To set the distinguished name, refer to “SET
SYSTEM DISTINGUISHEDNAME” on page 518.
