Creating the Certificate Request
The process of creating a certificate request involves collecting certain information from the requester. Usually, this is done through some sort of user interface (UI), although the information could be taken directly from a database without the need for a UI. The level of information required is set by the policy of the certification authority (CA).
An example of the required information might be as follows:
- Common Name
- Unit Name
- Company Name
- City
- State
- Country/Region
Note
The interface is designed to make a single request for each xenroll instance. A separate xenroll instance must be created to create each certificate request.
