Event-Driven Notifications

The Certificate Manager and Registration Manager support two kinds of
event-driven notifications:
• Request-completion status. Automatically notifies users by email that a
requested certificate has been issued or that a request has been deferred or
rejected. Available for Registration Manager or Certificate Manager.
• Request-queue status. Automatically notifies agents by email when a request
has been added to the request queue. Available for Registration Manager or
Certificate Manager.
For more information, see Chapter 16, "Setting Up Automated Notifications."
Auxiliary Components
In addition to the core components that are discussed in the preceding sections,
Certificate Management System also comes with command-line utilities or tools
and Software Development Kit.
