Accessing the End-Entity Services Interface
By default, access to the end-entity services interface of a Certificate Manager or
Registration Manager is open to all users. To access the Agent Services interface for
a particular subsystem:
Open a web browser window.
1.
Go to the page where the End-Entity Services interface for the Certificate
2.
Manager or Registration Manager is installed.
The default URL for this page is:
http://<hostname>:<ee_port>
<hostname>
The appropriate interface appears. (If you have disabled the unsecure
end-entity port, you won't be able to access the interface on that port.)
End-Entity Forms and Templates
This section describes the end-entity interface and its default forms.
The end-entity services interface is divided into three parts or frames—top, menu,
and content. The top frame includes tabs that are specific to end-entity operations,
such as certificate enrollments and renewals. The menu lists all the operations
supported by the selected tab. The content shows the form pertaining to the
operation an end entity chooses in the menu; the form contains information to
carry out the selected operation. Figure 2-1 on page 30 shows the end-entity
interface of a Certificate Manager.
