Note that Windows 2000
known as encrypted file system (EFS), using certificates that contain the Extended
Key Usage extension with the following two OIDs:
1.3.6.1.4.1.311.10.3.4
1.3.6.1.4.1.311.10.3.4.1
The EFS recovery certificate is used by a recovery agent when a user loses the
private key and the data encrypted with that key needs to be used. Certificate
Management System supports the above two OIDs and allows you to issue
certificates containing extended key usage extension with these OIDs.
Normal user certificates should be created with only the EFS OID, not the recovery
OID.
For general guidelines on setting the extended key usage extension in certificates,
see "extKeyUsage" on page 344.
The extended key usage extension policy in Certificate Management System allows
setting of the key usage extension as defined in its X.509 definition. The policy
enables you to specify OIDs, that identify key usages, in the extension.
During installation, Certificate Management System automatically creates two
instances of the extended key usage extension policy. See "CODESigningExt Rule"
on page 172
"OCSPSigningExt Rule" on page 173.
