Setting up Agents Using the Automated Process

(Not for certificate profile enrollment)
CMS automates the process of setting up agents if agents request their certificate
using the manual enrollment form. The automated process is built into the
request-approval form in the Agent Services interface and it enables those who
have both Certificate Manager agent and Administrator privileges to create new
agents for a Certificate Manager subsystem—this automated process does not
work for the other subsystems. If this option is selected when an agent approves
the request, the user is automatically created in the database, is assigned to the
correct agent group, and their certificate is stored in the database.
Note: This process will not work if you create a custom agents group.
If you want to test this feature, follow these steps:
Have the agent access the end-entity interface.
1.
In the Enrollment tab, under Browser, they select Manual.
2.
In the enrollment form that appears, have the agent enter the data and submit
3.
the request.
You then access the Certificate Manager Agent Services interface.
4.
Click List Requests.
