Installation and Configuration Overview

You install Red Hat Certificate System (CS) on each host on which you will be setting up a
CS subsystem. You then configure the subsystem that will run on that host. Once a
subsystem is setup, you can access its end-entity interface, agent services interface, and its
administrative interface and further configure the instance to match the needs of your PKI.
Note: To install Red Hat CS and configure it into a Common Criteria Evaluated subsystem,
please see Appendix B, "Common Criteria Environment: Setup and Operations."
You can configure more than one subsystem in an installation of CS. You can also install
CS on more than one host, with one or more subsystems configured in each installation.
Finally, different instances of CS subsystems can be set up as clones for high availability
purposes. To install and configure one or more CS subsystems as clones, please see
"Cloning a CA" on page 127.
One of your deployment decisions is which subsystems you will install, how many of each
type of subsystem you will configure, and on which hosts they will be installed. Once you
decide this, you install CS on each host you will be using, install each subsystem that will
be run on that host, and then configure each of the subsystems on each host.
