Enrollment Interface

Description

URI:
Available on: Certificate Manager and Registration Manager.
Function: Enrolls an entity into the Public-Key Infrastructure (PKI).
This servlet uses data from an
request, hands the request off to a Certificate Manager, and returns a response
(which may include the newly issued certificate) to the entity.
The certificate request may be based only on the data in the request, or it may get
additional data from an authentication plug-in named in the
parameter. If an authentication plug-in is used, the Certificate Manager may be
able to automatically issue a certificate which is passed to the entity in the
enrollment servlet's response. If no authentication plug-in is used, the request is
placed in an agent queue for manual approval and the enrollment servlet returns a
"request pending" page to the entity.
Description

and a colon, and ends with a newline (\n).
string
A long text string that shows all of the certificate data in a human readable
form.
