hi Johnny,
The keys are stored internally by the browser.
Then If I want to have the keys stored in a medium I have to use token request? instead of using the other types of request? Or there's any way to make a normal request, lets say Netscape IE type, and to store the keys in a token?
You can do this via the browser - Mozilla and IE can both access a Smartcard/Token and store the data on it.
If you have installed a SC/Token your browser will ask which device you want to use for the key creation.
oops that's a typo, some sentences were deleted and I didn't figured it. The question was: If the keys of the clientside request are stored by the browser, in the serverside type where are them stored? I'd like to have access to those keys to stored them in tokens and other types of media.
When you make a serverside request the keypair is generated on the CA and than wrapped together with the cert into the pkcs structures in the database. Create such a certifiacte and look at the database (cert-table) - you will find the encrypted key there. The keys are enrolled with the PIN you stated via the request on the browser.
