Importing CAs

For test purposes, you may receive a private key and a CV certificate for the CVCA trust point used by the passport manufacturer when creating specimen passports.

To test your process and inspection systems, if you have a PKCS#8 private key and a CV certificate with the public key, you can import a CVCA (with soft keystore) in EJBCA:

bin/ejbca.sh ca importcvca

Example import command using the given CV Certificate:

bin/ejbca.sh ca importcvca importcvca1 GO_CVCA_RSA2008.pkcs8 GO_CVCA_RSA2008.cvcert C=SE,CN=IMPCA1

Example import command using the same private/public keys, but generating a new certificate:

bin/ejbca.sh ca importcvca importcvca1 GO_CVCA_RSA2008.pkcs8 GO_CVCA_RSA2008.cvcert C=SE,CN=IMPCA1 SHA1WithRSA 365
