Validate the request. You can validate a request that uses a Certificate
Profile in order to see if the request complies with the defaults and
constraints dictated by the Certificate Profile. Once again, this action
merely checks the request's correctness and does not result in submission
of the request.
With the exception of the Validate and Update commands, each of these
actions changes the status of the certificate request. If you close the form
without taking one of these actions, the request remains in the queue with the
same status.
It's also possible to clone any request, whether it's still pending, canceled,
rejected, or completed. This can be useful in a variety of situations. For
example, if a user receives a certificate that doesn't work because it has been
incorrectly formulated, you can locate the completed request, clone it, and
correct it without requiring the user to enroll a second time. Cloning a request
gives it a new request ID number and puts it into the list of pending requests,
but does not change the status of the original request.
Figure 3-1 illustrates the process for handling requests and the different types
of status for a request.
