Agent Tasks
The designated agents for each subsystem are responsible for the everyday
management of end-entity requests and other aspects of the PKI:
•
Certificate Manager agents manage certificate requests received by the
Certificate Manager subsystem, maintain and revoke certificates as necessary,
and maintain global information about certificates.
•
Registration Manager agents manage the certificate requests received by the
Registration Manager subsystem.
•
Data Recovery Manager agents initiate the recovery of lost keys, and can
obtain information about key service requests and archived keys.
•
Online Certificate Status Manager agents can perform tasks such as checking
which CAs are currently configured to publish their CRLs to the Online
Certificate Status Manager, identifying a Certificate Manager to the Online
Certificate Status Manager, adding CRLs directly to the Online Certificate
Status Manager, and viewing the status of OCSP service requests submitted by
OCSP-compliant clients.
To perform the privileged operations of an agent, you use the CMS Agent Services
pages. To access these pages, you must have a personal SSL client certificate, and
the CMS administrator must have identified you as a privileged user in the user
database. For more information on how to get set up as a privileged user, see CMS
Installation and Setup Guide.
Certificate Manager Agent Services
The default entry page to the Certificate Manager agent services is shown in Figure
1-2. To access these pages, you must be a designated Certificate Manager agent and
your client software must have a valid certificate identifying you as such.
