Hi,
I'm in the situation where I need to generate a certificate for an
application now so that I can distribute the public root and intermediate
certificates to clients in many different organisations. The application
won't be in-service for some months to come - but my window for getting the
public certs out there is in the next few weeks along with some other
software which is being distributed.
So - can I set up a dummy Stand-alone CA now - generate my root and
intermediate certifcates and then distribute those public keys? Then when
we've properly decided on the PKI design for our organisation, install a new
CA and import the root and intermediate certificates previously created
instead of creating new ones at that time? Then I'll be able to issue further
certificates based on my original root and intermediate certificates on my
new PKI infrastructure.
Does it matter if the new properly designed PKI uses off-line or Enterprise
CAs - does that make a difference to if I can import the previous keys?
Regards,
Charles
