Usage Guidelines

The parameters of a PKI entity contain the identity information of the entity. The CA identifies a certificate applicant based on identity information provided by the entity. To facilitate applicant identification, configure an email address for the PKI entity, which is used as an alias of the entity.

After the email address is configured for a PKI entity, the certificate request packet sent by the device to the CA server carries this email address. The CA server verifies every received certificate request packet. For each valid packet, the CA server generates a digital certificate carrying the email address of the PKI entity.

Example

# Set the email address to test@example.com for a PKI entity.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[HUAWEI] pki entity entity1
[HUAWEI-pki-entity-entity1] email test@example.com
