2. HiKeytool will inform the user where the Certificate Signing Request has been stored on disk
(see
Figure 6-5), which will be in a file named <host name>.csr inside the <Device Manager
server> directory. The contents of your CSR will look similar to the example in
Figure 6-6.
IMPORTANT: Your CSR will contain extra carriage returns and line feeds which must be included when it is
sent to the Certificate Authority, or it will not be processed correctly.
3. You will then send the CSR to the Certificate Authority of your choice to be digitally signed. The
application for digital signing can be done online, and the response is typically returned to you
via email from the Certificate Authority.
4. If you intend to have a self-signed certificate digitally signed by a Certificate Authority, you may
want to check their web site for specifics. If your Certificate Authority’s requirements are
sufficiently different, you may want to recreate the Device Manager server keypair before
generating a CSR. To recreate the keypair, first delete the existing keypair (see
6-2-10 for
instructions), and then create a new keypair as described in this section.
NOTE: There must be only one entry in the Device Manager server keystore, or you could have problems
when you are running the Device Manager server in secure mode.
