In such case you would normally create Management CA somewhere else, and then import it as external CA (just the Management CA certificate) into the Root CA EJBCA instance. This would be the first step you'd perform on the Root CA EJBCA instance (and you'd need to do it via EJBCA CLI). The next step would be adding one of the admin certificates issued by Management CA to the super-administrator group on the Root CA EJBCA instance (again via EJBCA CLI). You would also issue an appropriate keystore/truststore for your Root CA EJBCA instance, deploy it etc. After all of this, if you have disabled administrator certificate checks in web.properties on Root CA EJBCA instance (or you have imported the administrator certificate into Root CA EJBCA instance), you would be able to go in through the web GUI and create your Root CA. Hopefully this somewhat condensed answer will get you going into right direction :) Best regards -- Branko Majic Jabber: br...@ma... Please use only Free formats when sending attachments to me.
