Generating a Certificate Request and a PSE File 

Use

Together with the private and public keys, the certificate is stored in a Personal Security Environment (PSE) file on the application server. Before getting your certificate, the PSE file only contains the key pair (private key and public key) and some administrative data. You have to create it together with the certificate request as described below.

Procedure

       1.      Copy SAPCryptolib (SAPCRYPTO.DLL) and SAPGENPSE (SAPGENPSE.EXE) to the file directory in which you want to create or edit the PSE file.

       2.      Set the SECUDIR environment variable to your selected directory (in Windows, choose My Computer -> Properties -> Advanced -> Environment variables -> (System variables), New …).

       3.      Go to this directory and type the following command. The name ‘dimona000’ is used only as an example; you can use any other name instead:
sapgenpse get_pse -p dimona000.pse -r dimona000.p10 "CN=Dimona, OU=My department, O=My company, C=BE"

       4.      Do not specify any PIN when asked; press Enter twice instead.

Results

The following files are created in your directory:

·        dimona000.pse     (1.227 Bytes  SECUDE.PSE.File)

·        dimona000.p10     ( 622 Bytes Certificate Request)
