Export archived private keys from the certification authority database

If private key archiving has been enabled, it may be necessary to export these keys from the certificate authority database and convert them to another format (PKCS#12, PFX), for example for long-term archiving.

Below is a description of the procedure for exporting individual or all archived keys and obtaining the necessary meta-information.

Putting an Active Directory integrated certification authority (Enterprise Certification Authority) into maintenance mode

If you want to perform maintenance work such as Migration to another server or perform more extensive configuration changes requiring a functional test on a certification authority, you want to ensure that the certification authority service is running, but at the same time prevent certificates from being automatically requested from and issued by the certification authority during this phase.

View and clear the revocation list address cache (CRL URL Cache).

All applications that use the Microsoft Cryptographic Application Programming Interface Version 2 (Crypto API Version 2, CAPI2) have a mechanism for caching certificate revocation information (Certificate revocation lists and OCSP-answers).

Thus, there is no guarantee that, for example, a newly published blacklist will be used by participants before the previous blacklist, which is still in the cache, has expired.

The following describes how to view and influence the blacklist cache.

Clients connected via Virtual Private Network (VPN) do not renew certificates automatically

Assume the following scenario:

  • Client computers automatically obtain certificates from an Active Directory integrated certificate authority (Enterprise Certification Authority).
  • Expiring certificates are renewed automatically when the clients are on the internal network.
  • However, expiring certificates are not automatically renewed when clients are connected via Virtual Private Network (VPN).
  • This can result in clients not renewing their certificate in time before it expires and no longer being able to connect to the VPN.
