Chapter 17. CRMF Pop Request

17.1. Syntax
17.2. Usage

The CRMFPopClient utility is a tool to send a Certificate Request Message Format (CRMF) request to a Certificate System CA with the request encoded with proof of possession (POP) data that can be verified by the CA server. If a client provides POP information with a request, the server can verify that the requester possesses the private key for the new certificate.

The tool does all of the following:

  1. Has the CA enforce or verify POP information encoded within a CRMF request.

  2. Makes simple certificate requests without using the standard Certificate System agent page or interface.

  3. Makes a simple certificate request that includes a transport certificate for key archival from the DRM.
