Back in December of 2004 we deployed a large CA based on Microsoft
Certificate Services (MSCA) on Windows 2003.
The MSCA is advertised to reach 2 million certificates a day - which is
about +/- 1388 certs per minute. I recently ran some tests and I was lucky to
get 16 certs per minute. This was running on a 4 processor HP DL580, 4 GB
memory with nCipher HSM hardware assist ---
So, I have two questions for the group ---
1. Has anyone else tested their certificate generation performance; what did
you find?
2. If you did test your performance, what tools did you use to test the
performance? I used a vbs script running for other networked nodes in a
scheduled batch job.

Thank you.

Hey Daya,
        DT forwarded your message to me. I asked him to get you to send me
a copy of your script, but I never received a reply. :-)
