To install a certificate on a machine like bloodhound.aoe.vt.edu, go to
http://www.pki.vt.edu/subscriber/ssl_certificate.html
follow the steps! Following instructions show how to answer some of the questions in the procedure.
Use this information for the Request Approval
Select: VT Global Web Server
or
If multiple names are to be used with the server, then “Multi Subject Alt names” allows several names to be entered like www.aoe.vt.edu, www2.aoe.vt.edu or www.dept.aoe.vt.edu
Common Name CN= bloodhound.aoe.vt.edu Dept Name OU= Aerospace and Ocean Engineering
submit with your contact information and the password that will be used to encrypt the certificate.
Print and fill out the “Request Form”, have a department head sign it and fax it back to the number on the form. Department heads as of Aug 7, 2012 are Bob Canfield, Wayne Nue, Wanda Foushee and Ed Nelson.
cd /home/sysadmin/certs/requests/ ./generate.sh bloodhound
The name parameter provides a name for the files in the pwd. Answer the questions as appropriate.
Two files are generated with this script. One is the CSR and the other is the private key. Keep the private key safe and use read only permissions.
The files are place in the …/requests/ folder; as stated above, keep the key protected!
The signed file are kept in vt_pki/
The other file, …_other_req.pem, will be sent or pasted in to the next step.
After submitting the approval request and faxing the request form, you should receive an email indicating the certificate is approved and ready to be picked up. You will need the password in the email to proceed.
As stated on the instruction page, “When completing the enrollment web form, use the username provided in the email and the password that you created when you submitted your approval request.”
Either browse to the file (ex. bloodhound_2012-08-01_other_req.csr), or paste in the text.
The certificate file will be downloaded to your computer during this process. It can be retrieved later from the link in a confirmation email, but it will be in a different format. The formats can be converted using openssl on a Linux box.
Procedures vary depending on the web server. For bloodhound, it used IIS7, and will need the private key and certificate all together in one pkcs12.
To combine the elements, use openssl.
openssl pkcs12 -export -out bloodhound.pfx -inkey ../requests/bloodhound_2012-08-01_other_key.pem -in bloodhoundaoevtedu.pem
out: the output file with both keys wrapped together. inkey: is the signed key from pki.vt.edu in: private key
Transfer the .pfx file to the server using a secure transport.
To install the key in IIS, use the IIS manager.
