Helo NG,

i need some information about a stand - alone CA. We`ve configured a Cisco
Pix FW to use a Certificate from these Microsoft CA to realize a VPN. The
clients are using Client Certificates for authentication. The Certificates
are stored on Aladin e-tokens. Everthing works fine...
I don`t understand the Key-handling. When i create a Request for a
Clientcertificate at the MS Stand-Alone CA, where are the private Key been
saved ??? Of cource on my e-token but who creates the private Key ...the
token or the CA ??

sorry for my poor English...

Peter
