If authentication is successful, the new certificate will be imported into your

browser, and you will be given an opportunity to make a backup copy.
Now you have a client authentication certificate in the name you specified. This
special user, who was named as the initial administrator for Certificate
Management System during installation, has been automatically designated as the
first agent. This certificate allows you to access the Agent Services pages. As an
agent, you can approve enrollment requests and start issuing new certificates. To
access the CMS windows in Netscape Console, you use the user ID that you
specified for the certificate and the corresponding password—both of which must
correspond to the values you specified for the CMS administrator during
installation.
Important
After you submit the initial Administrative Enrollment form, it is no longer
available from the agent port. If something goes wrong and you are unable to
obtain the administrator/agent certificate, you must reset a parameter in the
configuration file to make the initial administrative enrollment form available
again. Here's how you can do this:
In the left frame of Netscape Console, open the CMS instance for which you
1.
want to display the Administrator/Agent Certificate Enrollment form.
The server requests the password for the CMS administrator.
Click the icon labeled "Stop the Server."

Go to this directory:
