We require to implement client authentication in our B2B portal. A supplier is expected to login only if he has a valid digital certificate issued by the certificate authority in Win 2K.
When a supplier applies for registration he is first approved by the authorities and issued a digital certificate which he can install on his machine. Now issuing the certificate online that is the supplier accessing the website and going through Web Enrollment pages is possible . But this will complicate the things for supplier.
In order to avoid confusion on supplier's part we want that we issue him the certificate offline which can be posted to him n then he can install it on his machine. How can this be done . Please help.
