Determining identifying information for client
certificates
Define the identifying information that will be used for each remote
client certificate. Typically, these are the values entered in the
Distinguished Name (DN) fields when defining a certificate. This
information will be needed in either of the following scenarios:
Š
If you plan to direct remote users to request a remote certificate
from the CA.
or
Š
If you plan to request remote certificates from the CA on behalf of
the end-user.
Use Table 3-1 as a template for defining this information.
