This guide is an indepth guide on how to generate a certificate using the Client Cert Request Util available HERE.
Keep the Client Cert Request Util in a centralised folder without moving between generating the REQ and KEY files, and then returning the Partial Certificate. Failure to do so will mean you will not be able to complete your certificate. Keeping in a single folder on the desktop or in documents will make things easier to keep track of. |
Fill out the fields required with the relevant information, and continue clicking next.
The Common Name field will be what shows up in the Certificate Selection screen in the browser. It can either be shared as a generic user for the practice or company, or can be specified as a certain user. |
Never send your key file to anyone. Your certificate would be considered compromised and no longer suitable to secure connections. Please contact Medical Objects if this is the case to have your certificate reissued. |
This step is only required if you are using the certificate in Windows on the machine you are on and want to be prompted(This is a safer option) when the certificate is used. Subsection "Export to P12" is recommended instead if you have an automated system that can't supply a password to log into the certificate. |
