Re: [Pki-users] base64 CMC Request format

Dear All, sorry for taking this old post in to focus. I'm trying to create a CMC enrolment process with our DogTag CA. Can someone advice me how to create a CMCRequest.A sample configuration would be much helpful.

However, the profileSubmit servlet does take base64 encoded requests (see the caCMCUserCert prfoile from the ee page). Which means, technically, it can be done, though may not be straight-forward at first glance. Here is what you can do (I just tried it and it works for me): 1. take your Base64-encoded CMC request blob and URL encode it. 2. create a file, say sendCMCreq.txt, which contains the following data: profileId=caCMCUserCert&cert_request_type=cmc&cert_request=<your b64-encoded/url-encoded request> e.g. my sendCMCreq.txt reads: profileId=caCMCUserCert&cert_request_type=cmc&cert_request=MIILqAYJKoZIhvcNAQ... 3. run the following: wget --post-file sendCMCreq.txt http://<your ca host:port>/ca/ee/ca/profileSubmit 4. Once you get the successsful response (in HTML), glean for outputList.outputVal=xxx The "xxx" is your b64 encoded certificate. It's formatted for display so you might want to further process it. Hope this helps. Christina On 10/02/2013 11:47 PM, Elliott William C OSS sIT wrote: > We already use CMC enrollment (using profile caFullCMCUserCert) remotely from a RedHat system. It works without a hitch. It requires (ala Docu) converting the requests to binary format with AtoB before sending them on with HttpClient to the CMC servlet (/ca/ee/ca/profileSubmitCMCFull), and then receiving the (binary-encoded) response. > > When the card management system under windows sends a request - it is base64-encoded.
