Request Client Certificate for Authentication Agent

Create the client certificate used by the RICOH SLNX Authentication Agent using the Authentication Agent Certificate Tool.

The Authentication Agent Certificate Tool is stored in the following path in the installation media:

\Tools\ AuthAgentCertTool.zip

To use the Authentication Agent Certificate Tool, you must log in to the computer as a user with the privilege to issue a certificate.

The template must be created in the Certificate Authority on the server beforehand. Create a template providing the read, enroll, and autoenroll permissions to the user who uses the template.

  1. Unzip "AuthAgentCertTool.zip".

  1. Double click "AuthAgentCertTool.exe".

  2. In [Request Certificate], enter the template name registered in Certificate Authority.

  3. Enter the password for the certificate, and then enter the password again to confirm.

  4. Click [Request Certificate].

If a template with the same name has already been retrieved, a confirmation message asking to overwrite the existing file or cancel the request is displayed.

When the request succeeds, the certificate is added to the [Export Certificate] list, and the client certificate is created in the "Tool executing folder\repository" folder.

The format of the certificate file is "Template name.cer" or "Template name.pfx". If the request fails, an error message with an error code is displayed.

  1. Select the certificate to export from the drop-down list under [Export Certificate].

  2. Click [Export .cer for Admin console].

A certificate without the private key is exported to the specified folder.

This file needs to be imported by the Management Console and associated with the authentication profile.

  1. Click [Export .pfx for Authentication Agent].

A certificate with the private key is exported to the specified folder.

This file must be imported using the Authentication Agent Configuration Tool. The Multiple Authentication Agent can use the same pfx file.
