3.2.1.4.2.1.4.2.2 Renewing a Certificate Request Using CMS and CMC Request Format

  • Article

The request MUST be compliant with the information specified in [RFC2797], otherwise the CA MUST return a non-zero error. The processing rules for the following fields MUST be adhered to by the CA but are not specified by [RFC2797]:

  • ContentType: This field MUST be OID szOID_RSA_signedData (1.2.840.113549.1.7.2, id-signedData). If not, the CA MUST return a non-zero error.

  • Content: The content structure MUST be SignedData. The SignedData structure MUST adhere to the following requirements:

    • encapContentInfo: This field MUST have the following values for its fields:

      • eContentType: This field MUST be szOID_CT_PKI_DATA (1.3.6.1.5.5.7.12.2, Id-cct-PKIData). If not, the CA MUST return a non-zero error.

      • eContent: This field MUST be a PKIData. The PKIData structure MUST adhere to the following requirements:

        • TaggedRequest: This field contains a single PKCS #10 certificate request. If the content of this field is not exactly one PKCS #10 certificate request conforming to the rules specified in sections 2.2.2.6.5 and 3.2.1.4.2.1.4.1.1, the CA MUST return 0x8007000D (ERROR_INVALID_DATA) to the client. In addition, the Attributes field in the PKCS #10 certificate request MUST include the szOID_RENEWAL_CERTIFICATE (1.3.6.1.4.1.311.13.1) attribute. If this attribute is not included, the CA assumes that this is a new certificate request and follows the processing rules in section 3.2.1.4.2.1.4.1.1. The value for this attribute MUST be the already issued certificate DER encoded. If the issued certificate is not included in the value of this attribute, the CA MUST return 0x8009400E (CERTSRV_E_BAD_RENEWAL_CERT_ATTRIBUTE) to the client.

        • TaggedAttribute: This field MAY contain additional enrollment attributes. If the field contains the RegInfo attribute (as specified in [RFC2797] section 5.12), processing rules for its value are identical to the ones for the pwszAttributes parameter (as specified in section 3.2.1.4.2.1.2).

  • Certificates: This field MUST include the already issued certificate associated with the private key used to sign the request (the same certificate as the one in the PKCS #10 Attributes that MUST be included in the PKCS #10 attribute). If this field does not contain the already issued certificate, the CA MUST return 0x8009400E (CERTSRV_E_BAD_RENEWAL_CERT_ATTRIBUTE) to the client

  • SignerInfo: The signing MUST be done with the key associated to the already issued certificate that is passed in the Certificates field.
