Export and Import Profiles

Introduction

EJBCA Profiles, Importing & Exporting Profiles

Slide Deck: EJBCA Profiles

Overview: This next section demonstrates how easy it is to import/export certificate and end-entity profiles within EJBCA. At the end of this lab, you will have a number of pre-configured profiles, that are ready to be used. If you had a requirement to use these profiles on another instance of EJBCA, these could be easily exported and re-imported to a test environment for example. This lab uses Admin Web to accomplish this task.
