future reference or inquiry.
Note that the you submitted gets queued for agent approval—an agent needs
to process and approve the certificate request, which the CA signs then and
delivers back to the email address specified in the request. You can contact the
CA agent to find out when the certificate will be delivered to you. If you have
agent privileges to the Certificate Manager, you can approve the request
yourself.
When you receive the certificate from the CA, you'll need to install it following

the instructions in "Using the Wizard to Install a Certificate or Certificate
Chain" on page 452.
Sending the CSR to an External CA
An external CA is any public or third-party CA. Before sending the CSR to a public
CA, make sure that the CA can issue the certificate you want to request. Also, it is a
good idea to read the policy statement published by a CA to see whether the CA
imposes any restrictions on the validity period or usage of the certificate.
