Managing Ra Users - Red Hat CERTIFICATE SYSTEM 8 - AGENTS GUIDE Agents Manual

Chapter 6. RA: Requesting and Receiving Certificates Locally

6.5.2. Managing RA Users

RAs have two distinct types of users: agents and administrators.
There is a division between agent tasks and administrative tasks, even though both sets of functions
are accessed through web serivces pages. RA agent tasks manage operations related to issuing
certificates, like approving requests. RA administrator tasks relate to managing the server instance,
mainly managing users and groups.
For an RA user to be able to perform their tasks, the user entry must be created and then added to the
appropriate group.
A default user is created when the RA is first configured, and this admin user belongs to both the
agent and adminsitrator groups.
