Hello,

I'm not familiar with using scripts to creating certificates.

What I want to do is, that a administror can run a script then fill
out a form with the name, email-adress...

After the input, I hope the script create a private and a public key
and save it in a file. Then the public key have to signed from a CA. I
found a script, that make the request:

...
strReq = Enroll.createPKCS10( strDN, "1.3.6.1.4.1.311.2.1.21")
if ( Err.Number <> 0 ) then
    MsgBox("Error in call to createPKCS10 " & Err.Number)
    err.clear
else
    msgbox("Submitting request " & strReq)
    nDisp = Request.Submit( CR_IN_BASE64 OR CR_IN_PKCS10, _
                            strReq, _
                            "", _
                            "testca\TestCA")
....

But I'm don't think, that this is, what I need. The Request appears in
the CA. But the createPKCS10-Method creates only a request a not a
public and private key.

For the key I need to use a template. How I can create a key using a
template?

Please give me some hints, how I can do this!

Sorry, for my poor english. I hope you understand, what I want to
know!

Thanks a lot!

Daniel
