Red Hat CERTIFICATE SYSTEM 7.3 - AGENT GUIDE Manual page 46

Chapter 4. CA: Handling Certificate Requests
1. Open the agent services page.
https://server.example.com:9443/ca/agent/ca
2. Click Find at the bottom of the List requests page to list pending certificate requests.
3. Select the certificate request from the list.
4. The certificate request details page contains several tables with information about the request:
• Request Information. Lists basic information about the request.
• Certificate Profile Information. Lists the certificate profile being used, along with basic information
about that certificate profile.
• Certificate Profile Inputs. Lists the inputs contained in the enrollment form for this certificate pro-
file as well as the values set by the requester.
• Policy Information. Lists the policies that apply to this certificate profile, including the definition of
the policy, the value placed in the certificate by this specific policy, and the constraints placed on
this policy.
To change any of the information contained in the certificate, such as the subject name or validity
period, change the settings in the policy information table in the certificate request. Any policies that
can be changed have either a drop-down list or an editable field.
For any changes, the values must be valid within the constraints placed on a policy. If a change is
made outside the constraint, the request will not validate. An invalid request must be changed be-
fore a certificate is issued.
5. Choose an action from the menu at the bottom of the page:
• Approve Request. Approves the request and issues the certificate.
• Update Request. Updates the request with any modified information. The status of the request
does not change.
• Validate Request. Confirms that the request conforms to the constraints for issuing that type of
certificate. The request is confirmed as valid, or the system returns a list of fields that need to be
edited.
• Reject Request. Rejects the request.
