Dear Dinesh,
I tried the method and still have the problem. I will tell you what i did and can you tell
me where did I do wrong.
My root CA has "Maximum number of intermediate CAs: unlimited" and now I am
installing the issuing ca (what I use for to issue certificates for clients). For the
issuing CA Maximum number of intermediate CAs want to be Zero.
I basically
follow https://www.dogtagpki.org/wiki/PKI_10.5_Installing_CA_with_Externa...
(send the CSR to root CA and get back the signed certificate) and added
policyset.caCertSet.5.default.name=Basic Constraints Extension Default
policyset.caCertSet.5.default.params.basicConstraintsCritical=true
policyset.caCertSet.5.default.params.basicConstraintsIsCA=true
policyset.caCertSet.5.default.params.basicConstraintsPathLen=0lines to both step 1 and
step 2 config files and installed the Issuing CA.
Then I went to the Issuing CA's "SSL End Users Services" -> "Manual
User Dual-Use Certificate Enrollment" and created a certificate. Then I wend to
Agent Services and approve that request.
I imported that certificate to browser. But still it shows my issuing CA Maximum number of
intermediate CAs: unlimited.
Can you tell me what did I do wrong.

Nadeera,
(CC'ing pki-devel)
Setting the number of intermediate CAs can be achieved by using "Basic Constraints
Extension" [1] and setting the PathLen= to the required value.
You need to set this extension on a CA profile and then issue a CA signing cert. You
can't modify this value on an already issued CA cert. Read more on how to add this
constraint to a profile here [2]

Hi Nadeera,
I'm glad I could resolve your issues.
As for the friendly/nickname, these names are customizable based on the system you use and
are not specified during the certificate issuance.
For instance, when you specified "pki_ca_signing_nickname=mycompany_nickname"
this nickname was used to import the CA system certificate in your PKI server's NSSDB.
You can view this by doing `certutil -L -d /etc/pki/pki-tomcat/alias` and you should see
the mycompany_nickname listed.
I have very limited knowledge of handling certificates in windows. From Googling around:
you can try to right-click on the certificate -> Properties -> "general"
tab -> Set "Friendly Name".

Dear Dinesh,
Thank you for your support and it is been very helpful. I am using Centos 7 and the
version came with it is 10.5. I am using that version. I think I have corrected the
country (with c=LK). But I still have a problem with the nickname.
I used the pki_ca_signing_nickname=mycompany_nickname line but still the friendly name
show on windows PC (I have imported the issued certificate to a windows PC) format
like <Common Name>'s <Organisation> ID. My requirement is to show the the
Friendly Name (shows as in Windows PC) as "mycompany_nickname " I have attached
a screenshot also. Please tell me what did I do wrong.
The full config is mentioned below

Hi Nadeera,
What version of dogtag PKI are you trying to install? You are referring to PKI 10.5 docs.
The latest release is 10.8.3
If you are using the latest packages, our docs are available in our upstream repo:
https://github.com/dogtagpki/pki/tree/v10.8/docs
(see inline reply)

Dear all,
I am new to dogtag and I am installing a sub ca using the method described
in https://www.dogtagpki.org/wiki/PKI_10.5_Installing_CA_with_External_C...
. I want to know.
1) What is the parameter to change the Friendly Name
We do not use "Friendly Name". Instead, we use "nickname"To configure
the nickname for CA signing certificate use: pki_ca_signing_nickname=
2) What is the parameter to change the Country/Locality
This is set using subject dn. So, in your case specify the Country using this attribute:
pki_ca_signing_subject_dn=
3) Where (a page link ) I can find details about each of this configuration parameters.
I don't have a page that explains all the config parameters. But, I do have a page
that can give you a list of parameters that you can use (since you mentioned 10.5, I'm
listing the contents of 10.5 branch. Refer to the appropriate branch for an updated list)
https://github.com/dogtagpki/pki/blob/DOGTAG_10_5_BRANCH/base/server/etc/...
