Road Map to Configuring Subsystems
•
To configure a Certificate Manager to publish certificates and CRLs to a flat
file, see "Configuring Certificate Manager to Publish to Files" on page 647.
•
To configure a Certificate Manager to publish CRLs to the Online Certificate
Status Manager (an online validation authority), see "Setting Up a Remote
OCSP Responder" on page 687.
Step 11. Set up Key Archival and Recovery
If you have installed the Data Recovery Manager, follow the instructions in
"Configuring Key Archival and Recovery Process" on page 731 and set up archival
and recovery for end users' encryption private keys.
Step 12. Set up Logging
Each instance of Certificate Management System maintains extensive audit, error,
and system logs. By looking at these logs, you can monitor a server's activities.
Also, by configuring these logs, you can control the information that gets written to
the log files. Because Certificate Management System maintains the log files in the
file system of the host machine, it is important that you configure the logs
appropriately (so that the host machine doesn't get overloaded). Be sure to read
"Introduction to Logs" on page 745; this chapter will help you decide log
configuration.
Once you decide the configuration for server logs, follow the information in
"Configuring CMS Logs" on page 753 and configure all the three logs. Then, start
monitoring the server's activities as explained in "Monitoring CMS Logs" on
page 759.
Step 13. Plan for Backing up CMS Configuration and Data
It is a good practice to periodically back up the CMS data on to some backup
media. Creating backups will help you use them for data restoration in the event of
data loss. For details, r details, see Chapter 6, "Backing Up and Restoring Data" of
CMS Command-Line Tools Guide.
