Creating a certificate identity

Last Updated : Jan 26, 2022 |

About this task

Create certificate identities for each server used in your contact center deployment to enroll server identity certificates. If you use a public CA or a separate CA server to sign the CSR, you do not need to create certificate identities.

This procedure describes how to generate certificate identities using Avaya Aura® System Manager CA.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the System Manager web administration portal.
  2. Go to Security > Certificates > Authority.
  3. In the RA Functions section, click Add End Entity.
  4. In Username, type a username for the new certificate identity.
  5. In Password (or Enrollment Code), type a password for the new certificate identity.

    You need the password to enroll your certificates.

  6. In Confirm Password, retype the password.
  7. In CN, Common name, type the hostname of the corresponding server interface.

    The hostname must match the server hostname specified in the systemconfig file.

  8. In O, Organization, type your company name.

    The company name must match the O(Organization) value in the systemconfig file.

  9. In C, Country, type the two-letter code of your country.

    The country code must match the C(Country code) value in the systemconfig file.

  10. In L, Locality, type your company location.

    The company location must match the corresponding server location specified in the systemconfig file. For the Configuration Server and Routing Core Server instances deployed in the primary data center, you must use the L(DC1 location) value from the systemconfig file. For all other servers, you must use the L(DC2 location) value.

  11. In DNS Name, type the FQDN of the corresponding server interface.

    The server FQDN must match the corresponding server FQDN specified in the systemconfig file.
