Novell iChain includes Novell Public Key Infrastructure Services (PKIS 2.0) to provide cryptography and enable certificate services in your iChain infrastructure. A Novell server certificate is installed and configured automatically when you install Novell iChain; however, you might want to use other third-party certificates, such as VeriSign* certificates, in your infrastructure. In order to use third-party certificates in your iChain infrastructure, you must request a certificate from a Certificate Authority (CA), have the CA sign the certificate, collect and export the certificate and its trusted root, and then import the certificate and its trusted root to the iChain Proxy Server. For more information, see Section 15.0, Using iChain to Manage Certificates.
