Local CA Creation

Inside ESKM, create a local CA by following the steps below:

1. Go to the Security tab.

2. Click on the Certificates option listed under Certificates & CAs.

3. Scroll down to the Local CAs section.

4. Enter a Certificate Authority Name and Common Name. These may have the same value (e.g., ESKM Local CA).

5. Enter your organization’s details.

6. Select the Algorithm (e.g., RSA-2048).

7. Click on Self-signed Root CA and enter the CA Certification Duration and Maximum User Certificate Duration. These values determine when the certificate must be renewed and should be set in accordance with your company's security policies. The default value for both is 3650 days or 10 years.
