format of request file for requesting certificate to install a standalone subordinate CA

-

problem: how create request certificate installing standalone subordinate ca using certreq.exe –new request.inf request.req. looking on contents request.inf file, can generate ca certificate.

i trying install standalone subordinate ca on ws 2008 r2 on azure worker role. per our application requirement, once cert has been issued our ca, never go , interact ca again(for checking issued cert or other functionality) ca issue certs(handle csr) our client requests.

because of can have multiple machines having ca installed on them (but cas installed same ca certificate, validation of root chain  certs issued our ca).

since hosting ca on azure, want take advantage of azure scaling our worker role, hosting ca. if today have 2 instances/machines ca installed, can on demand increase 4 machines. have install ca on 2 new machines, without human intervention. because of automated deployment can't go option of ca installation generate request file , send root ca.

to overcome limitation of dynamic ca installation, trying create ca certificate request certreq.exe signed root ca , upload certificate azure. using ca use existing certificate option install ca on multiple azure machines.

when create request certreq.exe, not able install ca certificate. certificate missing attributes considered ca certificate.

can kindly provide sample request.inf file can provide certreq -new request_in.inf request.req to generate certificate can used install ca on ws 2008 r2.

 

regards

for certficate work ca certficate(intall ca), should marked in inf file [basicconstraintsextension] critical=yes adds basic contraints subject type=ca in generated certificate. regards
