Firefox does not recognize SSL Certificate issuer Entrust Certification Authority – L1K, but Entrust Certification Authority – L1C is ok?

We have a new Entrust SSL Certificate with issuer Entrust Certification Authority – L1K which Firefox does not recognize. Internet Explorer and Chrome are ok.
On a different system we have an Entrust SSL Certificate with issuer Entrust Certification Authority – L1C which is ok with Firefox.

Did you verify that all intermediate certificates are installed on the server?

How do I request a Digital Certificate?

Hi, I'm starting in this world of App development. I've got an HP PC with Windows 7 so I can't install Xcode or anything like that.

Importing a digital certificate from e-mail

When receiving a digital certificate (in an fdf file) attachment in an e-mail in Outlook I want to automate importing it to the Acrobat trusted cert store using VBA with Acrobat classes.
I use an Outlook rule and can get to saving the .fdf file with VBA. I have referenced the Acrobat type library in VBA. But I cant find an Acrobat import certificate function in the library.
I am using Acrobat V8 and Outlook 2007

I don't know if there is one, but have you downloaded the Acrobat SDK? You cannot program Acrobat by "discovery" of classes and methods, you do need the documentation. You might have to use the VB:JavaScript linkage.

Problem Signing Email with Digital Certificate from Smart Card, Outlook 2013

Hi there, I'm the IT guy for a small company. I've configured several people in the company to use their smart cards for email signing through Outlook 2013, but a a few computers are giving me this error:
"Microsoft Outlook cannot sign or encrypt this message because there are no certificates which can be used to send from the e-mail address '<e-mail address>'. Either get a new digital ID to use with this account, or use the Accounts button to
send the message using an account that you have certificates for."
I've been in the Trust Center, I see the signing and encrypting certificates. (SHA-1 and 3DES). Yet when I try to sign, Outlook always fails on the error.
For my computer, I was able to fix this by adding a "SupressNameChecks" DWORD set to 1 in the Registry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook. However, this fix is not working for the other people in the company.
Any other ideas? Really pulling my hair out on this one, I've tried everything I could find on the net it seems.

Hi,
Please checked “E-mail name” under the section ‘Include this information in alternate subject name” on the Subject Name tab of the certificate template.

Certification Authority

We installed the Certification Authority service on a 2008 server. How do we issue a certificate to a user to allow them to digitally sign Excel and Word documents? When I try to sign a document the only certificate available says
it cannot be verified.

Hi,
Based on my research, we must obtain a digital certificate before we can obtain a digital signature. Therefore, we need to request a
Code Signing certificate for this usage.

Request Smartcard Logon certificates for more than 2 years from Certificate Authority

Dear all,
I have setup a Certificate Services in a Windows Server 2008 R2 domain and I request certificates via the CA webpage
http://ipofdomainserver/certsrv using the SmartCard logon custom template.
The problem is that my certificates are only valid for 2 years even though when I created my custom Smartcard logon I selected for validity period 5 years.
I read in documentation that issued certificates cannot have a greater validity than the root that signed them.
What and where I should modify to be able to request certificates from the template for more years than standard 2 ?
Ps: WINSC-CA is valid for 5 years. Should I generate a new WINSC-CA ? How ?

I was successfully able to create a root CA for 20 years, issued a certificate and login using smartcard using the following procedure:
1. I increased the CA lifetime to 20 years by using this link http://www.expta.com/2010/08/how-to-create-certificates-with-longer.html
Created the file CAPolicy.inf in %SYSTEMROOT% with following content
[Version]
Signature=”$Windows NT$”
[certsrv_server]
RenewalValidityPeriod=Years
RenewalValidityPeriodUnits=20
2. Renew CA root using this guide https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc780374(v=ws.10).aspx
Console Root -> Certification Authority -> select domain -> Right click -> All Tasks ->
Renew CA certificate
3. Delete from Console Root -> Certificates (local computer) -> Trusted Root Certification
Authority -> Certificates the *WINSC-CA that has the previous lower validity, and from
Certificates (local computer) -> Personal, the *WINSC-CA that was lower validity
4. I performed a reboot here
5. Change in Console Root -> Certificate Templates -> Smartcard Logon Custom Template (my custom duplicate template) -> Properties -> Validity 10 years
6. Change in registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\CertSvc\Configuration\<CAName>\ValidityPeriod
to value 10 for 10 years.
7. Request a new certificate from CA webpage http://ipofdomain/certsrv and let the webpage write it to
smartcard (I was making sure there is no other certificate on the smartcard)
8. Try to log in. At this point it should throw an erorr that smartcard logon is not supported for this
account type. This is becuase we need to enroll it again for domain authentication
9. Console Root -> Certificates (local Computer) -> Personal -> Right click -> All Tasks ->
Request new Certificate -> Next -> Active Directory Enrollment -> Next -> Select Domain Controller Authentication -> Enroll -> Finish.
Now you should be able to login using your smartcard and 10 years generated certificate.
Though I have a problem at step 3, after CA server reboots the *WINSC-CA certificate with lower
validity is restored automatically, but the certificates are generated for 10 years.
What am I doing wrong ? How can I delete the lower validity root CA ?

Installing a certificate from a Certificate Authority

I don't understand the process of a installing a certificate.
I have got to the step where I have a sign request.
Now I want to import the certificate. I am using tomcat.
The instruction that I have say that I need to import a certificate from a signing authority. It give me the following command.
keytool -import -alias root -keystore <your_keystore_filename> \
-trustcacerts - file <filename_of_the_chain_certificate>
I found link to verisign for installing the intermediate CA certificate that says you need to copy and past some text that basically says "begin certificate" block of text , "end of certificate".
Where do I copy this block of text? Do I save it to a text file and them use it in the "filename_of_the_chain_certificate" example mentioned above. I don't see any examples that show all the details of the steps.
Thanks.

Hi Simon,
It looks like you're trying to do PEAP authentication on a specific SSID, is that correct?
Once you have the certificate generated, you'll upload it at the following location:
Topline Menu -> Commands
Then you'll choose "download file" and choose the certificate type to install it.
PEAP usually calls for a server side certificate (on your authentication server) to be installed on that server. Then you have to configure the controller for 802.1x authentication on the SSID itself. Pointing to one of the authentication servers listed on the "WLAN" Menu under security "AAA Servers". The servers themselves are entered in the "Security" Menu under either RADIUS or TACACS+ tab.
I can point you in the proper direction if you need more assistance, as I've done this many times. I just need more clarification on what you're trying to accomplish.
Regards,
Jerry

Automatically download digital certificates form Net

Hi!
I have to download digital certificates from the prespecified URLs. I cannot use servlet. By network programming I am able to connect to the site and I can store the certificate by using IO package. But this way, the format of the stored certificates are not valid.

               BufferedInputStream htmlPage =new BufferedInputStream(con.getInputStream());
               byte [] data;
               int contentLength = con.getContentLength();
               if (contentLength > 0)
               try
                    data = new byte[contentLength];
                    int h=htmlPage.read(data,0,con.getContentLength());
                    htmlPage.close();

Requesting certificate from certificate authority

I am in the last step of migrating from a personal account to a business account. I need to remove my old certificate, request a new one from the Certificate Authority in my keychain access. I attempt to get the new certificate, but it says the Certificate Authority email address is required. Does anybody know it or know how to bypass this step? Thanks

I am actually working on getting this setup for user Certs. and I am having some trouble. Can you tell me how you got this working?

How to request certificate from a non-domain computer

We using a Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise CA to issuing webserver-certificates (SSL). The CA-Server is a member of a AD-Domain and online. Now we want to request certificates from computers like Windows Server 2008 R2 or Linux Server which aren't member
of the domain.
How we can request certificates automatically with a script remote from these Windows Servers, for example ? Is it possible to use the "Certificate Enrollment Web Service" without the "Certificate Enrollment Policy Web Service" ?
Is it possible to use certreq in this scenario ?
Thanks for your help.

Now I have found a solution. Shortly I want describe the way:
Prerequirements:
1. ADCS Enterprise Certification Authority is installed
2. ADCS Certificate Enrollment Web Service is installed on a server
3. ADCS Certificate Enrollment Policy Web Service is installed on an other server
Steps to do:
1. Prepare a request-file for a certificate
2. On a computer which is not a member of the Domain/Forest of the CA-Service: submit the request to the CA and receive the issued certificate. The following command have to written in one line without line breaks.
certreq -submit
    -Username {domain}\{username}
    -p {password}
    -PolicyServer "https://{FQDN CertificateEnrollmentPolicyWebService-Server/-Alias}/ADPolicyProvider_CEP_UsernamePassword/service.svc/CEP"
    -config "https://{FQDN CertificateEnrollentWebService-Server/-Alias}/{CAName}_CES_UsernamePassword/service.svc/CES"
    -attrib "CertificateTemplate:{TemplateName}"
    {Enter Path and Name of the Request-File}
    {Choose Path and Filename for certificate}
   Sample:
   certreq -submit
        -Username contoso\Serviceaccount
        -p P@ssw0rd
        -PolicyServer "https://CAPolicyEnroll.contoso.com/ADPolicyProvider_CEP_UsernamePassword/service.svc/CEP"
        -config "https://CAWebEnroll.contoso.com/IssuingCA1_CES_UsernamePassword/service.svc/CES"
        -attrib "CertificateTemplate:MyOwnSSLTemplate"
        request.req
        sslcert.cer
3. Now you can find a file with your requested certificate locally in path you have choosen for the certificate-file.
I hope this will be helpful for other people enrolling certificates on non-domain member computers.

Issue generating a subordinate certificate - The certification authority's certificate contains invalid data

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi,
According to your description, you want to build a new CA which is under an existing sub CA (one of your two working sub CAs) to issue certificates to other devices, am I right?
Based on my research, to achieve this, we need to install another
Subordinate Certification Authority. During the installation process, this new sub CA will generate a certificate request to its parent CA.
“The subordinate CA cannot be used until it has been issued a root CA certificate and this certificate has been used to complete the installation of the subordinate CA”, I quoted this
sentence from the article I posted in my last reply.
Therefore, in your case, the process flow should be like:
Install a new sub CA.
Generate a certificate request to its parent CA during installation.
The parent CA approves this request.
Installation of the subordinate CA has completed.
The new sub CA issues new certificates to other devices.
Please feel free to let me know if this method is not working.
Best Regards,
Amy Wang
