This guide is an indepth guide on how to generate a certificate using the Client Cert Request Util available here.
Keeping the Client Cert Request Util in a centralised folder without moving between generating the REQ and KEY files and then returning the Partial Certificate makes things easier. Keeping in a single folder on the desktop or in documents will keep 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. Can either be shared as a generic user for the practice or company, or can be specified as a certain user. |
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. |
