[Web UI] Improve instructions to generate certificate
Last modified: 2013-02-21 04:19:44 EST
This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket: https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/3056 Endi proposed that we should improve instructions to generate certificate to be more simple (shorter). Might be good if reviewed by native speaker. {{{ 1. Create a certificate database or use an existing one. To create a new database: # certutil -N -d <database path> See certutil documentation for more info. 2. Create a CSR with subject "CN=<hostname>,O=<realm>", for example: # certutil -R -d <database path> -a -g <key size> -s 'CN=test.example.com,O=EXAMPLE.COM' 3. Copy and paste the CSR (from "-----BEGIN NEW CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----" to "-----END NEW CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----") into the text area below: }}} Note, the '#' is meant to indicate the command prompt. The <em> tag was not quite visible, most likely people won't see the tooltips for key size, so it might be better to mention <key size> explicitly.
