Hi Fraser, The CA does not need to be DSA. It can be RSA and sign a DSA cert for you. You just need to generate a CSR with DSA key. For example, you can use certutil to generate a DSA CSR: # certutil -d . -R -k dsa -s "CN=cfuTestDSA" -a -o cfuDSA.req.b64 # cat cfuDSA.req.b64 MIICFjCCAdYCAQAwFTETMBEGA1UEAxMKY2Z1VGVzdERTQTCCAbYwggErBgcqhkjO OAQBMIIBHgKBgQCY7zqucJibRNs1hsG2wkd8tP+Z6K5E8uvDviMPZdBMBIKQp51K yJN/Qd/4gGsLaH+v5Ki1spnDafs/5xvQD6l6SgS/UJ4iM7iJUyQQ+Wh3ra8QaLjT aF2jw+tyO6ALc2XF0fqMwH2qUik0RAG/EiX+GArIP8FgSNutk7ZhZ9eoLQIVALWw hItEKfYzWaE8vtJ/NaF2JwOBAoGABA6DafHNfeUMeJPWSW8ABE4ObDeqOCJH0ljs gxKV+Zzx9Cf/15lXNcZkTMBHEjFQgjwqBwMB7zAJiYJBdnHanleLdjg3X6XNMoRF jUwXVCtdwmu6PqB7ldcAQvcIuIOHYOHl9BpUwiDaODrRthD0yzXal5KH1qU3YrST ShUhpRADgYQAAoGAKDm/ww3NZTM+Npdc1WnZZlebT78BcKQVUfMMHvqG+TJRrkjZ RwhUKeNoYeRxPt0bJ8QUtRDG/ihQ+mH22bOJkhogXuf/GdGbKTRjInnXho6NEaQo sSY3CJ/865RXvPXDBleYoF1WzAntEQtWY+9/uSGZD20uubrKUopNioNTD86gADAJ BgcqhkjOOAQDAy8AMCwCFD59mJXc3EnJWY8N66DhCoKeg8yGAhQpYqFI14WFTk39 CXfwXSsLE5qSfw== Paste that into "Other Certificate Enrollment" at the CA EE page, submit Go to CA agent and approve it and I see: <snip> Subject Public Key Info: Algorithm: DSA - 1.2.840.10040.4.1 <snip> Hope this helps, Christina On 09/11/2014 12:22 AM, Fraser Tweedale wrote:
Hi all,
Is there some documentation somewhere about how to set up / configure a CA subsystem such that it can sign requests with DSA rather than RSA?
I guess that you need to spawn an instance with a DSA signing key or somehow configure one after the spawning, but I'm not sure how to do this.
Cheers,
Fraser
