Follow these instructions for obtaining a certificate from the development Treasury CA:
-
E-mail the PKI Operations team at
PKI_Ops@fiscal.treasury.gov
to request a device certificate.
-
Include the Common Name as you want it to
appear in the certificate, any
Subject Alternative Names
(SANs), a group email address, and any special
requirements such as embedding both server
and client authentication OIDs if needed.
-
You will receive your activation
codes (Reference Number and Authorization
Code) by email. The activation code expires
in 30 calendar days, but can be re-issued.
-
Using the instructions of your
particular key store (the information
Generating a Web or Device Certificate from Treasury
may prove helpful) generate a 2048 bit key and
generate a Certificate Signing
Request (CSR). In the Common
Name field, the CN value has
to be the reference number
from step 3.
-
Retrieve the certificate using
Entrust Web Connector,
https://devwc.treasury.gov
.
- Click Web server in the left hand pane.
- Enter the reference number and authorization code into their respective boxes.
- Paste the certificate request, including the BEGIN and END lines, into the large text box.
- In the Options field, choose the format "displayed as PEM encoding of certificate in raw DER".
- Click Submit Request.
- Security Manager generates a certificate and sends it to the Enrollment Server. Copy the entire certificate to the clipboard box including the BEGIN and END lines.
- Paste the certificate into a text file in the same directory as the private key and certificate request.
-
Import the Web server certificate
using your certificate store
instructions.
NOTE: If you need to make modifications
to the certificate such as adding or
removing a SAN, or if you are
experiencing problems, send an e-mail
to
PKI_Ops@fiscal.treasury.gov
and we will assist you.
