Agent-Signed EC CMC Request

This example shows generation of and EC cert request that is pre-signed with an agent (RSA) cert.

  • Generate an EC pkcs10 request, e.g.:

$ PKCS10Client -d . -p netscape -a ec -c nistp256 -o p10-ec.req -n "CN=cfuEC"
PKCS10Client: Debug: got token.
PKCS10Client: Debug: thread token set.
PKCS10Client: token Internal Key Storage Token logged in...
PKCS10Client: key pair generated.
PKCS10Client: CertificationRequest created.
PKCS10Client: b64encode completes.
Keypair private key id: 1aaa5f1c7e68cded2a9aeaeca1c203e9e65449b4

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----

-----END CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----
PKCS10Client: done. Request written to file: p10-ec.req
  • Create an agent-signed CMC request config file: cmc.role_p10.cfg

    • make sure the nickname value in cmc.role_p10.cfg is an agent cert

    • make sure the input points to the CSR you just generated

    • (in this case) make sure the format is pkcs10

  • Run CMCRequest to generate the CMC request

$ CMCRequest cmc.role_p10.cfg
