Administration | Certificate Management | Enrollment or
Renewal | Request Generated
The Manager displays this screen when the system has successfully generated a certificate request. The
request is a Base-64 encoded file in PKCS-10 format (Public Key Certificate Syntax-10), which most
CAs recognize or require. The system automatically saves this file in Flash memory with the filename
shown in the screen (pkcsNNNN.txt). You can select and copy the request to the clipboard, or you can
save it as a file on your PC or a network host. Some CAs let you paste the request in a web interface,
some ask you to send a file; use the method your CA requires.
In generating the request, the system also generates the private key used in the PKI process. That key
remains on the VPN 3002, and it is not visible.
Note You must complete the enrollment and certificate installation process within one week of generating
the request.
