You use Xenroll, info on MS site new MS OSes have Xenroll installed as
standard. The CSR must be created on the client (which is what Xenroll
can do) because only it has access to the private key.

how to generate key pair at client browser (IE)

2001-12-06 Thread Sarath Chandra M
Title: Message



Hi,
I have 
a requirement like this. Users/clients will access a web site, fill in a form, 
generate a keypair and send it to 
server. the csr is done at the server. client cert is 
created in the server and sent back thru email. Is this a 
proper
approach ? If so, I would like to get some help in 
constructing the setup. I have openssl ready and working. 
Only
thing 
is web (site) interface for the html form. Also, how to generate the keypair at 
the client (browser) ? I cant
find 
that certenr3.dll. Is there any other java/javascript program to do it without 
depending on microsoft dlls ?
Any help will be highly appreciated.  First I would like to try generating key pair with just a 
html page in Win2K.
 
regards
Sarath
