Thanks Dalini. You've been a big help. I did receive two certs from the server when I performed "getca" from sscep. Moreover, there is no segmentation fault when I try to enroll. As expected, it polls forever waiting for the request to be approved. When I attempt to "Approve and sign the request", a message box pops up "Testing for SecCLAB Plugin", followed by another popup window that says "Using integrated Javascript object crypto". Upon dismissing these two windows, nothing happens to the actual request and is still listed as "Waiting for Approval". Is this a known issue or would it be caused by a misinformed setup process :) ?

Thanks
NB

Thanks Dalini for the detailed response. I have not succeeded yet in enrolling successfully via SCEP. I am beginning to wonder if it is because of a flaw in my setup process. I have a RA / CA combination running on the same machine. My basic building process is:

1)
./configure options
make
make install-online
make install-ca

2)
setting dataexchange to 6 (the node acts as RA and CA)
./configure_etc.sh
./openca_start

3)
Initialization:
 a) Initialize Database
 b) Generate new CA secret key
 c) Generate new CA certificate request
 d) Self signed CA certificate
 e) Rebuild CA Chain
 f) Export Configuration --> to floppy

Could someone clarify what the steps should be from here, to initialize a CA and an RA operator when both CA and RA are running on the same machine.

When I attempt to retrieve the CA certificate, I only get one. In most examples that I read in this list, there are two certificates that are delivered to the sscep client.

ah, ok - i see where the problem is situated ;o)
its all perfect and fine so far with your steps

but u have to do some more things
a) use the init-procedure at the ca for creating an ra-cert
b) export this too
c) save it as openssl - you can do this via the ra-interface
   save one file for the key and one for the cert, just like
   u would do an apache-ssl
d) put the files somewhere
e) put the path including the filename into the scep-part of config.xml
f) rerun ./configure_etc.sh and ./openca_rc restart

than it should work ;o)

actually - for testing it should also be possible to set the scep cert and key path to the one for the ca - but it should be readable by the
apache then... and to skip the ra stuff... but i havn't checked this
configuration



greetings dalini
