You can configure a Certificate Manager to publish certificates to an LDAP
directory or flat file, and to publish CRLs to a directory, online validation
authority, or flat file. If you configure the Certificate Manager to publish to any of
these repositories, when the Certificate Manager is requested to issue a certificate
or to update certificate information, it automatically updates the corresponding
entry in the configured repository with relevant information. Similarly, when a
certificate is revoked, the Certificate Manager automatically updates the
configured repositoty with relevant CRL information. To locate the correct entry in
the repository, the Certificate Manager relies on object-mapping rules and to
update the located entry with relevant information, the Certificate Manager relies
on object-publishing rules.
To enable you to construct object-mapping rules, the Certificate Manager provides
a set of mapper plug-in modules. These modules are implemented as Java classes
and are registered with the Certificate Manager's publishing framework.
This chapter explains the mapper modules that are installed with a Certificate
Manager—it lists and briefly describes the modules and then explains each one in
detail.
