How on earth do I generate a certificate signing request from Groupwise??????

[Yossarian]

I want, for testing purposes, to use NW Certificate Server certificates with GroupWise.

Click get certificate in Groupwise and you get a link to page saying you can use Novell Certificate Server.

Read the FAQs and documentation, and it tells you can issue a certificate for a user.

Try to create a certificate, and you get a demand for a Certificate Signing Request.

Fruitless research tells me how I can generate a CSR for a web site or GW agent, but nothing for a user.

If I ever get a #$^$% CSR, C1 will probably demand a TPS cover sheet for the @!$@!$ CSR.

 

Excuse the sarcasm, but I have become increasing frustrated with Novell documentation lately.   There are tons of new features, but implementation is poorly documented,  obscure processes are required, and only then will you find out that the product depends on another product which must be preconfigured (I am thinking of things like Auditing services and NetWare Webaccess here)

I agree about the documentation, -- either complete but circular, i.e. everything refers to another pdf, or incomplete.

 

Anyway, GW65 comes with a CSR request utility in the GW software directory/Admin/utility/gwcsrgen/gwcsrgen.exe.  I don't know if GW6 does.
