Hello List, I'm still a bit confused, what I've to do with this new certification approach. My LIR portal user has the "certification" permission. When I'm clicking on "certification" in the left pane, it says me that I don't have a CA yet. Well of course not. Not in the Internet. Do I need to create a CA over the portal frontend? And if yes, do I have to provide a server running a CA service in the Internet? Somehow I jumped around some sites and reached the following messages inside the LIR portal: "Congratulations! You now have a digital certificate covering your Provider Aggregatable (PA) address space." Well now I'm totally confused. Does that mean, that my resources are certified already? Hope some of you can help to bring some clarity to me about this topic.
