Agent Tasks
Figure 1-2
As a Certificate Manager agent, you can perform the following tasks:
• Handle certificate requests.
You can list the certificate service requests received by the Certificate Manager
subsystem, assign requests to yourself, reject or cancel requests, and approve
requests for certificate enrollment. See Chapter 2, "Handling Certificate
Requests."
• Clone requests.
You can clone any request, whether it's still pending, canceled, rejected, or
completed. This can be useful in a variety of situations. For example, if a user
receives a certificate that doesn't work because it has been incorrectly
formulated, you can locate the completed request, clone it, and correct it
without requiring the user to enroll a second time. Cloning a request gives it a
new request ID number and puts it into the list of pending requests, but does
not change the status of the original request.
• Find certificates.
You can search for individual certificates, or search for and list certificates by
various criteria, then display the details of certificates you have found. See
Chapter 3, "Finding and Revoking Certificates."
