Title: Machine Certificate (From Rakesh)

Hi,

I'm quite new to this domain. I need an explanation on the difference between the personal certificates and machine certificates.  By machine

Certificates, I think it denotes either SSL client or SSL server certificates.... it raises another question: does machine certificates only means

a method for establishing SSL communication ..or otherwise can it be used for some other purposes ?.

I'm using Microsoft crypto API for generating CSR and it is submitted to the Netscape CMS for issuance. I have generated a CSR for a user

and the certificate issued is perfect. But now I need to issue a machine certificate (SSL client or server cert). I think it has to be dealt during

the CSR generation.  What are the fields we have to look for?


In the certificate for the CMS admin the following field is there for subject.

CN = CMS Administrator
0.9.2342.19200300.100.1.1 = admin



Any solution or idea is welcome.
Please help me
