Enabling and Disabling Certificate Profiles
End User Certificate Profile
If the End User Field of the certificate profile is marked true, then this certificate
profile will appear as an enrollment in the end-entity interface. If the End User
Field of the certificate profile is marked false, then this certificate profile will not
appear in the end-entity interface. This parameter determines whether or not the
certificate profile needs to be received from the end-entity interface in order to be
processed. Certificate Profiles would provide the value of false if the certificate
profile is in a Certificate Manager where the certificate profile is mirroring a
certificate profile in a Registration Manager. The value of false allows the
Certificate Manager to process a certificate profile request received from a
Registration Manager rather than the Certificate Manager's end-entity interface.
Policy Information
Each policy has a Policy Information section which shows a table for each Policy
Set. Generally, a certificate profile will have just one policy set. If the enrollment if
for dual-key pairs, then there will be two Policy Sets, one for the signing key and
one for the encryption key. The Policy Set defines all of the defaults and constraints
that have been set up for a particular certificate that is being requested. In the case
of dual-key pairs, two certificates are being requested, one for the signing key and
one for the encryption key.
The Policy Set table has columns that list the following
#. The number column lists the number for this set of defaults and constraints.
Extensions/Fields. This column lists the defaults that are set up. The defaults
define certificate content including extensions.
Constraints. This column lists the constraints placed on the content of this
certificate. The content placed in this certificate must comply with these constraints
in order to be issued.
To Approve a Certificate Profile
To approve a certificate profile, you go to the certificate profiles Approve
Certificate Profile page and click Approve at the bottom of the page. You get to the
page by clicking Mange Certificate Profiles and then clicking on a certificate profile
name.
Once a certificate profile is approved, it appears in the end-entity interface
allowing an end-entity to use that certificate profile to enroll for a certificate.
