Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

Before you apply for a certificate, run the pki entity command to create a PKI entity.

When applying for certificates, an entity must add entity information to a certificate request file and send the file to the Certificate Authority (CA). The CA uses a piece of important information to describe an entity, and identifies the entity using a unique Distinguished Name (DN).

Example

# Set the IP address of the entity to 10.1.1.1.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[~HUAWEI] pki entity entity1
[*HUAWEI-pki-entity-entity1] ip-address 10.1.1.1
