Configuring a Registration Manager
This section details the areas that you can configure for the Registration Manager
and points you to specific information on configuring those sets of features.
Setting Up Trust With a CA
You need to set up the Registration Manager as a trusted manager in the Certificate
Manager that issues certificates for the Registration Manager. If you got the
Registration Manager signing certificate from a CMS CA, you could have set up
this relationship when you issued this certificate by selecting this option in the
agent services interface on the request page used to approve the request. If you
have done this, you do not need to further configure the Registration Manager for
the trusted relationship. If you did not do this, you need to set this up. You set up a
trusted relationship by creating a user entry for the Registration Manager in the
Certificate Manager, adding that user to the Trusted Manager group, and storing
the certificate for the Registration Manager in the user entry. See "Setting Up a
Trusted Manager," on page 333 for details.
Adding Users
Once the Registration Manager is installed, you need to add users and assign them
to the administrator, agent, and auditor roles. If you selected the option to have the
administrator created during installation also act as an agent, then the
administrator is your first agent. If you did not, you need to create an agent user
who can access the agent services interface. See Chapter 8, "Authorization" for
details on adding users and assigning them to groups.
