Introduction

In this tutorial, you first request a server certificate from the CA. Then you take the role of the CA and issue the requested certificate. To do this, you use the following scripts:

These scripts are supplied with Micro Focus Demo CA and are by default in %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Micro Focus\DemoCA (Windows) or /opt/microfocus/DemoCA/openssl or $COBSSL (if set) (UNIX) after you have run the Micro Focus Demo CA installation.

To confirm the Windows directory with which they have been installed, look up the registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Micro Focus\DemoCA\1.0\Setup\DemoCAFolder.This applies to Windows environments (local development) only.
