GenerateCert Method

Generates a new certificate on the KMIP server.

Syntax

kmipclient.generateCert(publicKeyUniqueIdentifier, keyAlgorithm, hashAlgorithm, keyLength, subjectRDN, id, [callback])

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for this method is defined as:

function(err, data){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'data' is the value returned by the method.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

Use KeyAlgorithm, HashAlgorithm, and KeyLength to specify the desired algorithms and key length. SubjectRDN should identify the new certificate's owner.

Use the Id parameter to suggest a unique identifier for the certificate object. The method returns the actual Id assigned to the new certificate (it may differ from the one you supplied).
