Hi
I have a stand alone Windows 2008 R2 CA integrated with on board nCipher HSM.
I noticed that the every time I start the certificate services, the CA database hash value gets changed even though there are no certificates issued till now.
I check the CA database hash value via Event Viewer >> Windows >> Security >> Event ID 4880.
My understanding is the CA database hash value should change only when a certificate is issued. I have another Windows 2003 stand alone CA and the CA database hash value does changes only when a certificate is issued.
Is there anything I need to configure in my Windows 2008 R2 CA to update the CA database hash value only when a certificate is issued ?
Can anyone help me to resolve the issue?
Thanks.
