Enabling Or Disabling A Certificate Profile - Red Hat CERTIFICATE SYSTEM 8 - AGENTS GUIDE Agents Manual

The policy set table in the policy information sections contains the following information for the policy
set:
• #. The policy ID number (#) for this set of defaults and constraints.
• Defaults [Extensions/Fields]. The defaults set to define certificate content, including extensions.
• Constraints. The constraints placed on the certificate content. The certificate content in the
requested certificate must comply with these constraints in order to be issued. If the constraint value
is left blank or is set to a dash (-), then applying the constraint is optional, and the issued certificate
is not constrained.

2.4.2. Enabling or Disabling a Certificate Profile

To enable (approve) or disable a certificate profile:
1. Go to the Manage Certificate Profiles page, and click on a certificate profile name.
2. Open the Approve Certificate Profile page for that certificate profile.
3. Click the Approve button at the bottom of the page to enable the profile or Disable to disable it.
NOTE
It is only possible to disable a certificate profile after it has been approved. New
profiles are disabled by default and must be enabled before they can be used.
After a certificate profile is approved, it appears in the end entities page, which allows an end entity to
use that certificate profile to enroll for a certificate. Likewise, once a certificate profile is disabled, it is
no longer available in the end entities page for end entities to use to enroll for certificates.
NOTE
When a certificate profile is enabled, administrators cannot change any aspect of the
certificate profile. The certificate profile must first be disabled before an administrator to
modify the certificate profile.
