<h1 class="topictitle1">Create a user certificate</h1>
<div><p>Review this information to learn how your users can
use the Local CA to issue a certificate for client authentication.</p>
<div class="section"> <p>If you want to use digital certificates for user authentication,
users must have certificates. If you use Digital Certificate Manager (DCM)
to operate a private Local Certificate Authority (CA), you can use the Local
CA to issue certificates to each user. Each user must access DCM to obtain
a certificate by using the <span class="uicontrol">Create Certificate</span> task.
In order to obtain a certificate from the Local CA, the CA policy must allow
the CA to issue user certificates. </p>
<p>To obtain a certificate from the
Local CA, complete these steps:</p>
</div>
<ol><li class="stepexpand"><span><a href="rzahurzahu66adcmstart.htm#rzahu66a-dcm_start">Start
DCM</a>.</span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>In the navigation frame, select <span class="uicontrol">Create Certificate</span>. </span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Select <span class="uicontrol">User certificate</span> as the type of certificate
to create. A form displays so that you can provide identifying information
for the certificate.</span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Complete the form and click <span class="uicontrol">Continue</span>.</span> <div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> If you have questions about how to complete a specific form in
this guided task, select the question mark (<span class="uicontrol">?</span>) at the
top of the page to access the online help. </div>
</li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>At this point, DCM works with your browser to create the private
and public key for the certificate. Your browser may display windows to guide
you through this process. Follow the browser's instructions for these tasks.
After the browser generates the keys, a confirmation page displays to indicate
that DCM created the certificate.</span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Install the new certificate in your browser software. Your browser
may display windows to guide you through this process. Follow the instructions
that the browser gives to complete this task.</span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Click <span class="uicontrol">OK</span> to complete the task.</span></li>
</ol>
<div class="section"> <p>During processing, the Digital Certificate Manager automatically
associates the certificate with your <span class="keyword">iSeries™</span> user
profile.</p>
<p>If you want a certificate from another CA that a user presents
for client authentication to have the same authorities as their user profile,
the user can use DCM to assign the certificate to their user profile.</p>
