Customizing Certificate Renewal

We are developing system that makes use of Certificate Server. But, only our system is visible form the Internet,
CS is hidden behind the firewall.
We've developed a solution, that makes it possible to request for certificate from our system, then forwards the request to CS, and vice versa, we fetch the page which installs the certificate and forwards it to end-user.
But, when talking about renewal, we have a problem.
CS interface for certificate renewal expects, that user legitimates with its expiring (or expired) certificate and then
CS regenerates new certificate (with validity customized via console) and installs it on client browser.
We expected similar functionality as with requesting for certificate. User fills out the request, sends it to CS, and admin after checking issues the certificate. More, the admin is responsible for renewing the certificate, not the user, as in previous scenario.
Also, authenticating with client certificate makes it impossible to forward the request and response by us (we cannot fetch the certificate from the user browser to use it for communication with CS)...
Maybe some of You have solution that satisfies our needs?
Maybe CS has another interface, which we didn't explore, allowing certificate renewal without presenting user certificate.
Or you developed your own, custom solution, that can be suitable for us...
Thanks for help!

You have to create certificate request(CSR) from the same instance on which you are trying to install the certificate.
You need to copy the production server's *.dbs in <ws-install-dir>/https-<instance>/config and run a pull-config --force command to pull the changes into Admin Server.
If you use WS7.0 Admin Server for certificate renewal, AFAIK a new set of private and public key is generated.

  • J2EE Certificate Renewal in PI 7.0

    Hi
    We are executing a project to renew the certificates installed in our XI server. The certificate which is currently installed in our XI severer is signed by Verisign. All partners communicating to the XI server use the certificate to digitally sign the message. In XI server we have configured communication channels to receive process the signed message and also to deliver digitally signed message to partners. The validity of the current certificate installed in our system is going to end by the end of Feb. We are looking at renewing the certificate before the expiry date so that there will not be any interruption in partner communication. In this regard, please provide your inputs to the following items
    1. Should the existing CSR be sent to the CA for validity extension or a new CSR to be generated
    2. During certificate renewal, can the existing private/public key be retained for the renewed certificate
    3. Can we have the old certificate installed in the XI server along with the newly renewed certificate, so that the partners can be gradually migrated
    4. Is XI server restart required after certificate installation/upgrade
    We have referred the SAP Note 694290 for Verisign certificate renewal

  • Using a custom certificate store for SCCM 2012 clients and primary site server

    I have read what seems to be all the pki related documentation out there for SCCM 2012. I have a PKI infrastructure up and running issueing certificates with an offline root through group policy autoenrollment. The problem that i'm faced with is we are migrating
    from SCCM 2007 that was in native mode and we chose not to use the CA that we used for the old SCCM environment. When the clients attempt to communicate with the M.P. it runs through all of the different certificates and adds a tremendous amount of overhead
    to the M.P. We will have ten's of thousands of clients by migration end. Could someone please point me to a document that goes over how to leverage a custom certificate store that I could then tell the new 2012 environment to use? I know that it's in there,
    I've seen it in the console. The setup is one primary site server with SQL on box and the pki I just mentioned as well as the old 2007 environment that is still live.
    I read that you can try and use SAN as a method of identifying the new certs but I haven't found a good document covering exactly how that works. Any info you could provide I would be very grateful for. Thanks.

    Jason, thank you for your reply. I'm getting the impression that you have never been in the situation where you had to deal with 2 different PKI environments. Let me state that I understand what your saying about trust. We have to configure the trusted root
    CA via GPO. That simply isn't enough, and I have a valid example to backup this claim. When the new clients got the advertisement and began the ccmsetup process I used the /pki switch among others. What the client end up doing was selecting a certificate that
    had the longest validity period which was issued by our old CA. It checked the authentication chain, found it to be valid and selected it for communication. At that point the installation failed, period, no caveats as you say. The reason the install failed
    because the new PKI infrastructure is integrated into the new environment, and the old is not. So when you said " that
    are trusted and they can use *any* cert that is trusted because at the end of the day, there is no
    difference between two valid certs that have the same purpose as long as they are trusted. "
    that is not correct. Both certs are trusted, and use the same certificate template, but only one certificate would allow the install to complete successfully.
    Once I started using the CCMCERTISSUERS
    switch the client install went swimmingly. The only reason I'm still debating this point is because someone might read this thread see your comments and assume "well I've got my new PKI configured as a trusted root CA, I should be all set" and their
    deployment will fail, just as my pilot did.
    About Intune I'm looking forward to doing a POC in the lab i built with my Note 3. I'm hoping it goes well as I really want to have our MDM migrated into ConfigMgr... I think the
    biggest obstacle outside of selling it to management will be the actual device migration from the current MDM solution. From what I understand of the enrollment process manual install and config is the only path forward.
    Thanks Jason for your post and discussion.

  • Cisco ISE Admin and EAP certificate renewal

    Hi board,
    maybe I'm asking a rather dumb question here, but anyway :)
    I'm currently thinking about how to renew an admin/EAP certificate on an ISE node and the effect on the endpoint authentication.
    Here's the thing I do, when I initially install an ISE node
    1.) CSR creation on ISE (PAN) - CN=$FQDN$ and SAN="fqdn as well"
    2.) Sign CSR and bind certificate on ISE node - done
    Now after 10 month or so (if the certificate is valid for one year) I want to renew the ISE admin/EAP certificate.
    CSR creation: I cannot use the $FQDN$ as the CN, because there is still the current certificate (CN must be unique in the store, right?)
    So what to do now? Do I really need to create a temporary SSC and make it the admin/EAP certificate, delete the current certificate and then create a new CSR? There must be a better and more important non-disruptive way of doing this.
    How do you guys do this in your deployments?
    Thanks in advance and sorry again if this is a silly question.
    Johannes

    you can install a new certificate on the ISE before it is active, Cisco recommends that you install the new certificate before the old certificate expires. This overlap period between the old certificate expiration date and the new certificate start date gives you time to renew certificates and plan their installation with little or no downtime. Once the new certificate enters its valid date range, enable the EAP and/or HTTPS protocol. Remember, if you enable HTTPS, there will be a service restart

  • SAP Certificate vs Customer Certificate - Best Practice

    Hi All
    We are using an external archive server for archiving data and documents. The communication between SAP and the server is made secure using certificates.
    As per my limited understanding, SAP uses its own certificate for this communication, that is generated in the transaction STRUST. I think it is also possible to use a customer certificate for this communication by importing it in the same transaction.
    We need to determine whether to use the standard SAP certificate or use a custom one in our project. Under which scenarios is it recommended to use a custom certificate? Are there any disadvantages of using the standard SAP certificate?
    Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
    Joy

    Hi,
    If you archive server is inside your corporate network, I don't see why it would be needed to use a custom certificate.
    I don't even know if it is possible because this is the System PSE.
    The SAP system send its STRUST PSE to the archive server at initialization.
    Then each URL generated by the SAP system is signed with the certicate in order for the archive server to know from where the command came.
    I would advice you to keep using the standard System PSE.

    Olivier

  • QuickVPN Plus with custom certificates

    I am attempting to establish a VPN connection using QuickVPNPlus to a WRV200. I generated my own certificate for security. With the Linksys Quick VPN client, I would put the certificate .pem file in the same directory as the Linksys Quick VPN client. How do I tell QuickVPNPlus to use a custom certificate file?

The reason I am attempting to use the Quick VPN Plus client b/c I haven't been able to get the Quick VPN client to work. Quick VPN connects (username/password, certificate all validates). However, after it connects I get the popup "The remote gateway is not responding...". I cannot ping any system on the remote side. This problem with Quick VPN occurs on systems that have previously had the Cisco VPN client installed. I have uninstalled the Cisco VPN client and re-installed the QuickVPN client many times to no avail. This is why I am trying Quick VPN Plus client.

  • Link between Material code, Customer & Certificate Profile (Quality)

    Hi All
    I develop one smart form for quality certificate.
    But I am not able to find out the link between Material, Customer & Certificate profile.
    In which table these all data are storing.
    On the basis of above condition MIC will print on Quality certificate.
    Regards
    ARK

    It should be posted in QM forum, isn't it?  Anyway, try this.
    First you get the profile schema in table T683 (configuration of profile schema in Quality Management -> Quality certificates -> Certification Profile -> Profile determination -> Define schema for profile determination).  Standard one is QC0001.
    Then you use function call V61I_CERT_PROFILE_FINDING with parameter (standard routine for finding certificate profile.  Unless you have the user exit, this routine should work):
    I_APPLICATION = QC
    I_DATE = current date or whatever date (i.e., delivery date in outbound delivery)
    I_DIALOG = leave blank
    I_HEADER_COMMUNICATION => here you can put in your customer, material, plant ; depend on your access sequence
    I_SCHEME = value from table T683
    You will get the output in table E_KONDI which give you data of condition rec. no, certification type, profile and version.
    Then you can use certification type, profile and version to select the characteristics from QCVM.
    Hope it helps.

  • Sun Java Webconsole custom certificate

    I'm trying to use a custom certificate for Sun Java Webconsole; specifically, I'm trying to use the same certificate that we user for our other applications on the server.
    I have tried going into /var/webconsole/domains/console/conf/console.xml and changing the keystore file location, then tried using wcadmin password -k to change the password to the correct password. However, it refused to boot afterwords. the only error message I could find in any logs was that it could not determine the status of the webconsole.
    I really need to be able to do this because our IA trolls are demanding that all the browsers available on the box can only use known and trusted ssl certs, and the self-signed certs that webconsole uses doesn't work under that regime.
    This is the only reference I have found to this: http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5432923
    And this has almost no useful information: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-1985/sunweb-1?l=en&a=view
    Can anyone help me???/

    This one hit me too, thanks for the hint. FWIW, the [patch description|http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-21-125953-18-1] does indeed list this particular issue:
    a. JWC services that run local-only, seem to be undone (6722988).
    The console service is now [Secure By Default|http://opensolaris.org/os/community/security/projects/sbd/] . That is,
    tcp-listen in /var/svc/manifest/system/webconsole.xml
    is now set to false, so the console is by default set to
    local-only mode. The administrator should set it to true in
    order to allow the console to work over the network.

  • EAP-TLS - 802.1x - Certificate renewal

    Hello
    I want to implement EAP-TLS as realised in Document "EAP-TLS under Unified Wireless Network with ACS 4.0 and Windows 2003". Everything thing works fine.
    Though our customer wants to FW the Data WLAN/ VLAN and allow only data traffic between WLAN Client to a the terminal server within his secure LAN.
    By blocking all other traffic(except Terminal Server sessions) we experienced that the MS WinXP Client cannot renew its` EAP_TLS Certificate (in this case both user and machine)when its` Time expires.
    Could somebody give me a hint if there are other Cisco solutions for this issue.
    I have also read something about Cisco Virtual office. Does this deployement coupe up to solve this issue?

    The purpose Cisco ACS agent is, that ACS 4.x appliance (non-Windows2003 server) is capable to do Windows user authentication. I guess that won't help your issue.
    What I don't get is the following:
    Are you using WPA2(AES) as encryption? Then the WLAN is not considered as unsecure over the air.
    The CA enrollment is a pure Windows issue. I haven't heard of Cisco mechanisms to cover that case. The only way I see is to open the FW for the needed MS services or to use another EAP-type (like PEAP).

  • 802.1x Certificate Renewal

    Hi,
    I have customer planning to deploy 802.1x in their wired network.
    1. They are using certificate, username and password to authenticate.
    2. Unauthorized user will be assigned to Guest Vlan with limited access to the network.
    3. The problem is, when the certificate is expired, user wont be able to authenticate to the network.
    4. How to allow user to renew the certificate when then dont have access to their network? Is there any work around?
    Thanks

    Users who fail 802.1X are not assigned to the Guest VLAN. They are denied access or, if the auth-fail VLAN is configured on the switch, they will go to the auth-fail VLAN. You can configure the auth-fail VLAN with enough access to get to the CA to renew the cert.

  • Remote Desktop Connection With Custom Certificate on Windows 8.1 fails

    I'm trying to establish a secured remote desktop connection without success.
    The setting
    There are some local pcs with windows 8.1 Pro and windows 7 Pro, no server-edition. I've created a self signed ca-certificate with openssl for Windows. I used this to sign custom certs for the local windows-pcs, which are installed at mmc -> certificate
    snap-in for local computer -> My Certificates -> Certificates. The networkdriver has the right to read the key. The sha1-fingerprint of the custom signed certs are registered at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp
    -> SSLCertificateSHA1Hash = sha-1 hash of the custom local cert. Additionally the revocation-list is restrained to the local list by setting HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\Credssp -> UseCachedCRLOnlyAndIgnoreRevocationUnknownErrors
    = 1.
    The results
    The connection form win 8.1 to win 7 works. The connection info confirms that it is a veryfied connection. The connection to windows 8.1 fails after entering the credentials with error: No connection possible. Network Level Authentication is set, but other
    level don't work as well. The log (Event Views -> Applications and Services Logs -> Microsoft -> Windows -> TerminalServices-RemoteConnectionManager -> Admin) says "Remote Desktop Services has taken too long to load the user configuration
    from server" and "The Local Security Authority Cannot Be Contacted" (error 0x80090304)
    Aditional information
    The connection via linux (remmina) works for win 7 and win 8.1, but I have no information about the encryption. It is the same with the Microsoft Remote Desktop Tool for Android.
    Maybe it is accociatet with a different cert handling by Windows 8.1 but I couldn't find further information or a solution in the internet.
    Best regards
    abditus

    I solved the problem!
    The default openssl certificate signature algorithm is md5RSA but it doesn't work with windows 8.1.
    It is at least sha1RSA needed.
    By adding "default_md = sha1" to the openssl.cnf you create certs with sha1RSA and it works fine.
