Viewing Key Service Requests
To use the remote authorization feature, the designated key recovery agents must
also be designated Data Recovery Manager agents, so that they are privileged to
access the Agent Services pages directly. If you are using only local authorization,
anyone can be designated as a recovery agent, since only you will need to access
the recovery authorization form.
If you are a designated key recovery agent as well as a Data Recovery Manager
agent, and another Data Recovery Manager agent informs you that a remote key
recovery authorization has been initiated, enter your authorization as follows:
Go to the Data Recovery Manager Agent Services page (see "Accessing Agent
1.
Services" on page 25). You must submit the proper client certificate to get
access to this page.
Click Authorize Recovery.
2.
Enter the recovery authorization reference number that was part of the
3.
notification.
This number identifies the particular key recovery request that you are to
authorize.
Click Examine.
4.
Enter your key recovery agent ID and password.
5.
Click Grant.
6.
The initiating agent is informed that you have completed your authorization.
Viewing Key Service Requests
Key service requests are of two kinds:
•
Key archival requests, made by remote or local Certificate Managers or
Registration Managers
•
Key recovery requests, made by Data Recovery Manager agents
As a Data Recovery Manager agent, you can view these requests. You can search
for and list key service requests with a particular status, such as completed or
rejected. You can select a key service request from the returned list and examine it
in detail.
Key service requests are usually handled internally. You do not need to take any
action on them unless your system is specially configured.
