Task roadmap for adding CA domains

Before you begin

  • Complete all required tasks in Configuring your system for PKI Services. This task roadmap is intended to direct you to add a new CA domain after you have already implemented and tested the default setup for PKI Services and ensured that it operates properly as a single CA domain.
  • Review Table 1 to see the subtasks that are involved and the skills that are required for each subtask. (The team members that are listed are based on role definitions that are established in Identifying skill requirements.)

Procedure

To create a new CA domain, complete the subtasks in Table 1. Subtask 1 guides you through planning. Subtask 2 is a one-time setup that you do when you add your first additional CA domain. Subtasks 3 - 8 are each done once for every CA domain you add. (See Configuring your system for PKI Services for additional details about these subtasks.)

After you complete Subtasks 1 and 2 (planning and reconfiguring), perform Subtasks 3 - 8 for your first new CA domain and ensure that it operates properly before adding your second CA domain.
