Description
URI:
Available on: Certificate Manager or Registration Manager
Function: Agents can use the Process Certificate Request interface to accept, reject,
or cancel requests to sign, renew, or revoke requests.
The Process Request Interface is used to assign pending requests to agents. The
Process Certificate Request interface is used by an agent to act on requests owned
by the agent (or not yet owned).
The interface is called once the sequence number of a pending request is known, so
forms that use the interface are usually embedded in a response template from an
interface that can list pending requests (for example, the Requests Query Interface).
The list of pending requests will also include the
distinguish between signing, revocation, and renewal requests.
