Description
enrollment | getCAChain | getCertificates |
getRevocationInfo | renewal | revocation | unrevocation
The requestType returns the type of request that was made to the
interface returning this template.
number
The serial number of the certificate that was processed. This might be a
newly issued certificate or a newly revoked certificate.
number
The unique sequence number assigned to the request by the Certificate
Manager or Registration Manager.
OID
The object identifier (OID) string corresponding to the algorithm used to
sign a newly issued certificate. For example,
"1.2.840.113549.1.1.4" is the OID for MD5 with RSA signing.
MD5withRSA | SHA1withDSA | SHA1withRSA
The name token associated with the signature algorithm whose OID is
stored in signatureAlgorithm.
pending | complete
Indicates whether the request is complete or if further action is required.
Responses from the Process Certificate Request interface will return a
status of complete unless an error occurred.
Distinguished Name (DN) string. See RFC 2RFC 2253.
The DN appearing in the certificate subject field. Example DN: CN=Alice
Apple, UID=alice, OU=People, O=Example, C=US
string of hexadecimal numbers
The actual public key in the certificate that was processed. The string is a
sequence of two-digit hexadecimal numbers separated by colons:
"A1:3F:23:90:D7\n" Each pair of digits represents a byte or octet in
the public key.
string
A string indicating the public key algorithm and certificate signing
algorithm. For example, "RSA - 1.2.840.113549.1.1.1" for a
certificate with an RSA key signed using MD5 with RSA.
