If you do not already have a Root CA, you can use the Content Gateway manager to create one. The process uses openssl pkcs#8.
Be sure to back up any new Root CAs that you create. See Backing up your internal Root CA for details.
Steps
-
In the Content Gateway manager, go to the tab.
-
Provide requested information in the fields, particularly noting the following:
- The fields Organization, Organizational unit, and Common name comprise a distinguished name.
- For Organization, enter the name of your company.
- Optionally provide an Organizational Unit (for example, division, section, or department) name.
- For Common Name, enter the name of your company certificate authority.
- The comment becomes part of the certificate. The first line you enter can be seen by end users.
- Enter, and then confirm, the passphrase. (A passphrase is similar to a password. Usually, however, it is longer to provide greater security. It is recommended that you use
a strong passphrase, with a combination of numbers, characters, and upper- and lower-case letters.)
-
Click Generate and Deploy Certificate to deploy the certificate to the Content Gateway server.
