Quick Start Guide - Issue Client Authentication Certificate using EJBCA

Learn how to issue a client authentication certificate using the EJBCA Community Docker container. 

In this guide, you will learn to:

• Create basic profiles​
• Issue client authentication certificate​ (PKCS#12 keystore​)
• Download CA certificate

The EJBCA Community container is started as an ephemeral instance which means that when you stop the container, it will automatically be removed and all data will be destroyed. This setup is suitable for testing EJBCA or for evaluating added functionality in an updated version. For information on running the container with more production-like settings with persistent data, refer to EJBCA on Docker Hub.
