Setting Up Privileged Users
•
The request-approval form for Certificate Manager's SSL server certificate
request includes a checkbox labeled "This certificate is for a Trusted Manager."
•
Similarly, The request-approval form for Registration Manager's signing
certificate request includes a checkbox labeled "This certificate is for a Trusted
Manager."
If selected, the checkbox indicates that the subsystem that has requested the
certificate must be made a trusted manager. Selecting the checkbox also requires
the agent to specify an ID for the subsystem that will be set up as a trusted
manager.
If the Certificate Manager agent approves the certificate request with the checkbox
selected and user ID specified, the server automatically adds the subsystem as a
new privileged user to its user and group database, adds the user to the Trusted
Managers group, copies the corresponding certificate to the database, and
associates the certificate with the new user's entry.
Note that for a Certificate Manager to add the Registration Manager this way, the
Certificate Manager agent who approves the Registration Manager signing
certificate request must belong to both the Certificate Manager Agents and
Administrators groups in the internal database of the Certificate Manager. For
more information about these groups, see "Groups and Their Privileges" on
page 384.
