Templates
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
Templates are special to XCA and not interchangeable with other applications.
|
|
They store all information to create certificates or requests.
|
|
|
|
To use templates, just create a new certificate or request and apply one
|
|
of the templates (or parts of it) in the *Source* Tab.
|
|
Usually you have the distinguished name parts, that never change and
|
|
properties (extensions) that define the use of the certificate.
|
|
You may apply the whole template or only the subject or only the extensions.
|
|
|
|
Next to the 3 default templates for CA, TLS server and client
|
|
certificates, customized templates may be created. Templates are not signed,
|
|
they are just a collection of common values for different certificates.
|
|
Therefore XCA does not care if any duplicates exist in the list of templates.
|
|
|
|
An easy way to create templates is to export an existing certificate or
|
|
PKCS#10 request to a template. Just select *Transform->Template*
|
|
in the context-menu of the item. The private key of the
|
|
Certificate or Request is not required for this operation.
