pki:generate-certificate-request

pki:generate-certificate-request(
   $template-id as xs:unsignedLong,
   $common-name as xs:string,
   $dns-name as xs:string?,
   $ip-addr as xs:string?
) as xs:string

Summary

This function generates a PEM encoded X.509 certificate request from the template for the specified id. If $dns-name or $ip-addr are specified, those values will override any values specified in the template. A new public/private key pair is generated for the request and inserted as a temporary document in the database. When the signed certificate is inserted later, it is matched up against this document and any previously in use private key / certificate is replaced with the new one.

The Admin UI will only set common-name, and leave both dns-name and ip-addr unspecified. Control over these values is provided only for power users to use through custom administration scripts.

Parameters
template-id The certificate template id for which to generate the certificate request.
common-name The common name to put into the template.
dns-name The DNS name, if any, to substitute into the template.
ip-addr The IP address, if any, to substitute into the template.

Example

  (: execute this against the security database :)
  xquery version "1.0-ml"; 
  import module namespace pki = "http://marklogic.com/xdmp/pki" 
      at "/MarkLogic/pki.xqy";

  let $tid := pki:get-template-ids()[1]
   return
      pki:generate-certificate-request($tid, (), "marklogic.com", "127.0.0.1")
