Approving Requests

Sending an Issued Certificate to the Requester

When the Certificate Manager has issued a certificate in response to a request, the
user who requested it must receive a copy of it to install locally. End users install
their own certificates in their client software. Server administrators install their
servers' certificates in the servers that they manage.
Depending on how your Certificate Management System is configured, an end
user who requests a certificate might receive automatic email notification of the
success of the request; this email message contains either the certificate itself or a
URL from which the user can get the certificate. In this case, you need not take any
further action.
If your system is not configured for automatic certificate-issuance notification, or if
the requester is a server administrator, you must either send the issued certificate
to the requester or ask the requester to pick it up from the Certificate Manager's
end-entity gateway.
Figure 3-2 shows a web page containing a new certificate. This is the page you
receive in response to the command "Issue this certificate," as described in Step 11
in "Approving Requests" on page 42.) Before you issue the certificate, you should
copy the requester's email address.
