Managing Certificate Lifecycle
Enroll
| Stream’s RA is not supposed to be a comprehensive registration authority and should only be used when necessary. This simple RA is made for "on the fly" generation only. If you want more advanced RA features to manually enroll certificates, you should consider using Horizon’s Web RA. |
To enroll a certificate via Stream:
1. Log in to the Stream Administration Interface.
2. Go to Certificates > Enroll. You’ll be prompted to fill the following information:
-
CA (select) : The CA that will issue the certificate. The CA must be managed by Stream;
-
Template (select) : The Stream certificate template to use to issue the certificate;
-
CSR type : Whether the CSR to sign is in a dedicated file (File option) or in the clipboard (Text option);
