Downloading a CA Certificate for a PKI Entity

Context

Several methods are available to download a CA certificate, depending on the service types provided by the CA:

  • Download the CA certificate from the CA server through SCEP into the device storage.

  • Download the CA certificate from the web server to the device storage through HTTP.

  • Download the CA certificate from the CMPv2 server through CMPv2 into the device storage.

  • Obtain the CA certificate in an outbound way (web, disk, or email) and then upload it to the device storage.

If a PKI entity applies for a local certificate through CMPv2, the root certificate of the CA server is downloaded.

Procedure

  • Download a CA certificate through SCEP.

    For the configuration about downloading CA certificate through SCEP, see Applying for and Updating the Local Certificate for a PKI Entity Through SCEP.

  • Download a CA certificate through the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP).
    1. Run system-view

      The system view is displayed.

    2. Run pki http [ esc ] url-addresssave-name

      A CA certificate is downloaded through HTTP.

      url-address must include a complete certificate file name and file name extension, for example, http://10.1.1.1:8080/cert.cer. If url-address specifies a domain name, ensure that the domain name can be resolved.

  • Download a CA certificate through CMPv2.

    For the configuration about downloading CA certificate through CMPv2, see Applying for and Updating the Local Certificate Through CMPv2.

  • Download a CA certificate in an outbound way.

    After you obtain a CA certificate in an outbound way (web, disk, or email), manually upload it to the device storage. You can also download a CA certificate through the administrator's PC and then upload it to the device storage through FTP or SFTP, or web system.
