Overview of Publisher Modules
Publisher modules help you configure the Certificate Manager to publish a CA
certificate, end-entity certificates, or CRLs to the following:
•
A mapped entry in the directory (entries are mapped by one of the mapper
modules explained in Chapter 5, "Mapper Plug-in Modules.")
•
A particular file
•
An online validation authority
By default, the Certificate Manager provides publisher modules for publishing the
CA certificate, end-entity certificates, and CRLs. Plug-in modules are implemented
as Java classes and are registered in the CMS publishing framework. The Publisher
Plugin Registration tab of the CMS window (Figure 6-1) lists all the modules and
the corresponding classes that are currently registered with a Certificate Manager.
Figure 6-1
Table 6-1 describes the publisher modules provided for the Certificate Manager.
You can use these modules to configure a Certificate Manager to employ specific
publishing rules.
