Hi all,

   I'm trying to get the PIX to use a cisco IOS CA... but I'm not
having any luck here, I've set the IOS-CA folowing this link...

http://www.cisco.com/application/pdf/en/us/guest/netsol/ns171/c649/ccmigration_09186a008074f1fa.pdf

when I try to authenticate de ca server.

PIX(config)# ca identity ios-ca 172.16.1.50
PIX(config)# ca configure ios-ca ra 2 20 crloptional
PIX(config)#
PIX(config)# ca authen ios-ca

msgsym(GETCARACERT, CRYPTO)!
%Error in connection to Certificate Authority: status = FAIL
PIX(config)#

I tryed changing the path to the auth script but didn't work.. tried all these

ca identity ios-ca 172.16.1.50: 80
ca identity ios-ca 172.16.1.50: /cgi-bin
ca identity ios-ca 172.16.1.50: /

however when I change the enrollment mode from RA ro CA ...

PIX(config)#
PIX(config)# ca identity ios-ca 172.16.1.50
PIX(config)# ca configure ios-ca ca 2 20 crloptional
PIX(config)#
PIX(config)#
PIX(config)# ca authen ios-ca

Certificate has the following attributes:

Fingerprint: e876bfbd 122d1c0e fa764a46 0a373770
PIX(config)#
PIX(config)# ca enroll ios-ca 512
%
% Start certificate enrollment ..

% The subject name in the certificate will be: PIX.lab.cisco.com

% Certificate request sent to Certificate Authority
% The certificate request fingerprint will be displayed.
PIX(config)#
PIX(config)# Fingerprint: 8d6bc9bc 7be486ea 6a740b86 8f264cdd

The certificate has been granted by CA!

PIX(config)#
PIX(config)#

I did the same thing on routers, using "enrollment mode ra" and they
worked without a glitch...

so.. any ideas ? :)
