Hi,
>>I can successfully creates certificate requests with the command certreq -new <request.ini> <request.req>
Sorry I can't reproduce this behavior in my lab.Are there .ini and .req files with a network path?Did you check the task manager or performance counter when you run this command,is there anything unusual?

Hello,
this ist the ini-file:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
;---------CertificateRequestTemplate.inf-------------
[Version]
Signature="$Windows NT$"
[NewRequest]
Subject="CN=test,OU=PKI,O=Ma_Moo,C=de"
Exportable=TRUE
MachineKeySet=FALSE
KeyLength=2048
[RequestAttributes]
CertificateTemplate="MAMBenutzer"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------And this is the response in the cmd-shell:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
C:\Daten>certreq -new -f crqTemplate.inf new.req
Active Directory-Registrierungsrichtlinie
{A61423C1-6E6E-4FCB-A454-14687D3B91B1}
ldap:
CertReq: Anforderung erstellt
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------In this status the req-file is created with the right content.
But the shell is hanging for 10 minutes.Best regards

Hello,
I have added the following lines to the ini-file:
[Extensions]
2.5.29.17 = "{text}"
_continue_ = "dns=server.mamoo.de"===============================
The result is the same. The request-file is created at once, but then I have a timeout of 10 minutes, until the prompt appears again.
Best regards

What happens if you perform certificate requests using certmgr.msc or certlm.msc?
This is very unusual behavior and I believe it has nothing whatsoever to do with using certreq.exe.

Hello,
using certmgr.msc it works without any problems.
I have to deliver the subject distinguished name and the certificate is registered without delay.

Are you trying it on a domain machine? IIRC this could be caused when certreq can't obtain template information from Active Directory.

Hello, this was a good hint.
I removed the lines
[RequestAttributes]
CertificateTemplate="MAMBenutzer"from the ini-file, and the request was created immediately and there was no timeout any more.
As compensation I must give now the information about the used template as option in the submit command.
certreq -submit -attrib CertificateTemplate:MAMBenutzer ...
Thank you, it works fine now.
But, could you please give me a short explanation of this behaviour.Best regards MaMoo
