As you have known till now that OPDA older procedure has been changed to provide certs as well as most of other sites offering certs have been closed too.. so the only method we have right now is to use OPDA new cert process..

Well I found that most of the friends here facing some problems getting OPDA certs, so I tried to make a new OPDA cert guide, hope this will help you guys and if you have any problems or something, please let me know.. I will try to answer you asap.

*This guide require you to register at OPDA Forum (*go there only for certs :P)

So here we go..

[size=+1]First we need to register there..[/size]

1. Open opda[.]net[.]cn in your browser and click on Register.



2. Click on first option as you are saying that you accept the terms and condition.



3. You may get a kind of error if you have any kind of Firewall or Internet security tool installed, however if you click on Register once again and then again accept the terms and conditions, it wont trouble you again.. as well as some of the users may not get this problem also.



4. Fill up the forum, each option getting ok as soon as you move to next item and finally click on submit to register your account there.



5. Once you click on submit, if everything goes right, you would soon redirect to the index page of the forum and it showed your account name on top of the list too else you can login to the forum by entering your username and password like this. .. just wait for few seconds after entering your details and this will lead you to the main index page.



[size=+1]Now the Registration part is over, let's move on to put a request for a cert[/size]

6. Now you will be able to see your username on the top of the screen as well as well as look out for the 3rd last item which is called Facilities and under that there will be two items, click on Second item, that is called Certificate System.



7. Now this is the main page for certificate requests .. you will drop here if you are going to apply for first time for a certificate.. Now enter the details as showed here.. and once you done, click on Submit..



8. Once you enter your correct details and click on submit, you will see this windows if everything goes right...



and then site will lead to this page...



9. Now you have to have some patience and revisit the site again after 24 hours... and then the next page will help you to understand further to download your cert and key....



[size=+1]Ok as the earning OP points system has been changed at OPDA as well as you cant download the certs and key so easily as earlier, here is some info to help you out..[/size]

New OP Points system...
1 OP for requesting certificate
1 OP for downloading certificate
1 OP for downloading the key file.
Total, it'll need 3 OP.

This is a new layout of their OP system, which is very disappointing, though they did this to stop spam... so I kind of good move too. (for any forum)



Now how to download from there if you got enough OP points...

You will get this screen now with two options to download your cert and key.



Now forget about the first option as that will take a huge amount of time and wont be as easy.. You need to download at least 2 software and then need to do some tricking in your browser and so and so..

Try out the second red option, you loose 1 OP point to download your cert and 1 OP point for your key.

I hope this guide can help a lot of our friends here.. any question, just ask ...

Ok .. as I told you earlier in the post that you need to spend one OP point to download even the key file too.., so I am uploading all the key files used in OPDA so that you dont need to download key file and thus will save your OP points .. They are more then one key files, so you have to find out which one is for your cert, to find out that..

Just double click on the certificate from OPDA, and check the Issued to name and match it with the key file.. In order to sign. See image below for details, match the highlighted area to the key file.



If any key not included from this list, you will have to download it from your account..

New key file added to the list.. (Yuexiu blablabla) Thnx to eender for providing the key file..

Enjoy.
