<div><p>A Public Key Infrastructure for X.509 (PKIX) Certificate Authority
|
||
|
|
(CA) is a CA that issues certificates based on the newest Internet X.509 standards
|
||
|
|
for implementing a public key infrastructure. </p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"> <p>A PKIX CA requires more stringent identification before issuing
|
||
|
|
a certificate; usually by requiring that an applicant provide proof of identity
|
||
|
|
through a Registration Authority (RA). After the applicant supplies the proof
|
||
|
|
of identity that the RA requires, the RA certifies the applicant's identity.
|
||
|
|
Either the RA or the applicant, depending on the CAs established procedure,
|
||
|
|
submits the certified application to the associated CA. As these standards
|
||
|
|
are adopted more widely, PKIX compliant CAs will become more widely available.
|
||
|
|
You might investigate using a PKIX compliant CA if your security needs require
|
||
|
|
strict access control to resources that your SSL-enabled applications provide
|
||
|
|
to users. For example, Lotus<sup>®</sup> Domino<sup>®</sup> provides a PKIX CA for public use.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>If
|
||
|
|
you choose to have a PKIX CA issue certificates for your applications to use,
|
||
|
|
you can use Digital Certificate Manager (DCM) to manage these certificates.
|
||
|
|
You use DCM to configure a URL for a PKIX CA. Doing so configures Digital
|
||
|
|
Certificate Manager (DCM) to provide a PKIX CA as an option for obtaining
|
||
|
|
signed certificates. </p>
|
||
|
|
<p>To use DCM to manage certificates from a PKIX
|
||
|
|
CA, you must configure DCM to use the location for the CA by following these
|
||
|
|
steps: </p>
