Privileged-User Types and Responsibilities
You can configure a Data Recovery Manager to delegate its end-entity interactions
to a trusted Certificate Manager or Registration Manager for security reasons; the
Data Recovery Manager trusts the Certificate Manager or Registration Manager
and services all key archival and recovery requests initiated by this subsystem. For
example, as illustrated in figure below, you might deploy one or more Certificate
Managers or Registration Managers to send key archival or recovery requests to a
Data Recovery Manager.

Certificate Manager to Certificate Manager (in a cloned-CA setup, which is
explained in "Cloning a Certificate Manager" on page 286)
