EJBCA PKI

Prerequisites

  • A certificate profile should be created, e.g. reusing the default "SERVER" certificate profile.

  • An authentication certificate should be issued for Horizon, and it should be given certificate issuance and revocation permissions on the aforementioned certificate procedure.

Limitations

  • Only the following fields are managed: all Subject DN fields and subjectAltNames DNS, IPaddress, RFC822Name, msUPN and msGUID.

  • For multi-valued fields (SAN DNS and RFC822Name), if more data items are provided than configured in EJBCA for the given End Entity profile, the exceeding items will be ignored.

  • All limitations induced by the use of the EJBCA RA SOAP Connector.
