How
to manage Certificates and configure OCA
(LESSON
22)
To
approve a client certificate request, use the OCA administration page
by using the following URL:
https://<hostname.domain>:4400/oca/admin.
You
should get a prompt for the certificate to be used for authentication.
Select the OCA administrator certificate. Then click OK.
Now,
you can click the “Certificate management” tab to manage your
pending certificates. Notice that all certificates that they are
pending for your approval will be displayed by default.
Select
the certificate that you want to approve, and then click on the
“View Details” button.
In
the “Certificate Request Details” page, you should see the details
of the user certificate request. Once you have verified the details
information that provided by the user, click on the “Approve”
button to approve the certificate. You can also change the “Validity
Period” value on the “Certificate Request Details” page.
Once
you get a notification of the certificate request approval, click OK.
Now, if you search on the certificate request ID that you have
approved, you should notice that the status of the certificate is
displayed as Certified.
Now,
the user can also search for the certificate and once the approved
certificate was received he/she can import the certificate into
his/her browser.
Clicking
the link under the column Serial Number, displays you a detail of the
approved certificate. You can scroll down, and click the “Import to
Browser” button to import the certificate to the browser.
How
to enable the OCA server to send you an email in case the number of
requests pending approval exceeds the threshold mark value:
In
the “OCA administration” page, click on the “Configuration
Management” tab to set your configuration. By default, the
notification page is displayed. On this page, enter the values for you
SMTP server. Also, check mark the “Enable Alert” and “Pending
Requests Queue over Threshold” boxes, and enter reasonable values
for the “Queue Size Threshold” and “Interval between Queue Size
Checks” fields.
