Extension policy modules registered with a Certificate Manager
Figure 4-1
Table 4-1 lists extension-specific policy modules that are installed with a Certificate
Manager. A Registration Manager installation also includes all the modules, expect
for the ones noted below:
•
AuthorityKeyIdentifierExt
•
BasicConstraintsExt
•
NameConstraintsExt
•
PolicyConstraintsExt
•
PolicyMappingsExt
You can use these modules to configure a Certificate Manager and Registration
Manager to add extensions to certificates. Both subsystems add extensions to a
certificate request when it undergoes policy processing (see section "Policy
Processor" in Chapter 18, "Setting Up Policies" of CMS Installation and Setup
Guide). Keep in mind that the changes made to a request by a Registration Manager
may be overwritten by a Certificate Manager when it subjects the request to its own
policy checks.
