Pulse Certificate Autoenrollment processing

Use the vascert command line utility to manually perform Certificate Autoenrollment.

To perform Certificate Autoenrollment processing manually

  1. Decide whether you want to pulse Certificate Autoenrollment for the machine or a specific user.
  2. To pulse Certificate Autoenrollment for the machine, run the following command as root (or using sudo):

    /opt/quest/bin/vascert pulse

    NOTE: To pulse certificate enrollment for the machine, you must run the command with root privileges. This is mostly useful for troubleshooting. In some cases (such as when logging in by means of SSH), this will not result in successful certificate enrollment because the System.keychain cannot export existing private keys required for certificate renewal processing. If you just want to run Certificate Autoenrollment processing for the machine and you are not interested in the output, use vascert trigger instead.

  3. To pulse Certificate Autoenrollment for a specific user, log in as that user and run the following command:

    /opt/quest/bin/vascert pulse

    NOTE: Use the GUI to log in as the user. This ensures that the user's keychain is unlocked so that enrolled certificates can be exported and imported. Logging in by other means, such as SSH, is generally not sufficient and may lead to errors when the certstore-mac.sh script invokes the /usr/bin/security tool.

Manually apply Group Policy

If you are using One Identity Authentication Services 4.1 (or later), Certificate Autoenrollment is configured automatically by Group Policy. Use the vgptool command line utility to manually apply Group Policy.

To manually apply Group Policy

  1. Decide whether you want to apply machine policy or user policy.

    NOTE: Machine policy affects the entire system; User policy only affects the specified user.

  2. To apply machine policy, enter the following command as root (or using sudo):

    /opt/quest/bin/vgptool apply

    The terminal displays policy processing results.

  3. To apply user policy, enter the following command as root (or using sudo):

    /opt/quest/bin/vgptool apply -u <username>

    The terminal displays policy processing results.
