Agent Tasks
Figure 1-2
As a Certificate Manager agent, you can perform the following tasks:
• Handle certificate requests.
You can list the certificate service requests received by the Certificate Manager
subsystem, assign requests to yourself, reject or cancel requests, and approve
requests for certificate enrollment. See Chapter 3, "Handling Certificate
Requests."
• Find certificates.
You can search for individual certificates, or search for and list certificates by
various criteria, then display the details of certificates you have found. See
Chapter 4, "Finding and Revoking Certificates."
• Revoke certificates.
If a user's key has been compromised, you need to revoke the user's certificate
to ensure that the key is not misused. You may also need to revoke the
certificates of users who have left the organization. You can use Certificate
Manager Agent Services to find and revoke a specific certificate or a set of
certificates. Users can also revoke their own certificates. See "Revoking
Certificates" on page 61.
