Using Oracle Wallet Manager to request a certificate and validate from OCA

To start Wallet Manager,go to

Start -> Programs -> OracleAS 10g - ORACLE_HOME -> Integrated Management Tools -> Wallet Manager



Create a new wallet

Select Wallet -> New
Enter a password for the wallet

Specify Wallet Type: Standard
And say yes








Export the certificate to some local file directory


Save the certificates with .cer format

Create a new directory where in you will store all the files.



Open the .csr file thus created and copy the contents of the certifícate


Log in to https:host:sslport/oca/user

Navigate to Server/sub ca certificates

and create a new request



copy the content of certificate to pkcs request




and submit the request

You will get a request corresponding to that as shown



now log in to admin page by logging in to

https:host:sslport/oca/admin and switch to certificate management tab

There you will get a pending request with the same user id for which certificate has been requested.



click on view button and approve it.


it will again generate a certificate with some certificate id




copy this certification id and now log in to the user console

https:host:ssport/oca/user

and move to server/sub ca certificates and search with the certification id you will get it in the list now save this CA certificate as .crt file in the same location.



Again click on view details and view the certificate





This certificate will be saved as a base certificate



Similarly the ca certificate will be saved as a root certificate



Now once you have the certificate you can import it back to your wallet manager to change its status from pending to ready.

This can be done like this.



Now select the certificate which you have created




Well this really didn't worked for me as it was giving some error that ca certificate doesn't exist.

I left the plan to authenticate is from oca as OCA is not a product from 11g.

SO i rather gave the certification request to verisign,i used the trail version to get my certificate validated.


ONce validate when you will import your certificate status will be changed to ready



You can see that the issuer is Verisign trial version and it has also added some verisign trusted certificate.

There are other certification authority also but i am aware of verisign only you can do a google search and send your certificate to them to get it verified.

I believe now you have got some idea of how a certification authority works how wallet manager raise a certification request and how it is verified and completed.
