Publishers
Publishers allow you to specify the location where you want a particular object
published. In the case of publishing to a file, a publisher specifies a particular
location in which you want to publish the files. You can publish everything to one
location, or you can create publishers for each location you want to publish to. In
the case of OCSP publishing, a publisher specifies a particular location in the
Online Certificate Status Manager in which you want to publish a CRL. You can
publish all CRLs to one location, or you can create publishers for each location you
want to publish to. In the case of publishing to a directory, a publisher specifies a
particular attribute in the LDAP entry that stores the published file. Publishers
specifying the standard X.500 attributes for storing objects have already been
defined. Generally, you do not need to configure Publishers for LDAP publishing.
Configuring Publishers for Publishing to a File
You need to create and configure a Publisher for each publishing location;
publishers are not automatically created for publishing to a file. If you are
publishing all to one location, you can create one publisher. If you are publishing to
different locations, you need to create a publisher for each location you will be
publishing to. Each location can either contain an object type, say one for user
certificates, one for CRLs, and one for CA certificates, or, it can contain a subset of
an object type, say west coast user certificates in one location and east coast
certificates in another location.
Creating a Publisher for File Publishing
To create publishers for publishing to files:
Log in to the CMS console for the Certificate Manager (see "Logging Into the
1.
CMS Console" on page 247).
Select the Configuration tab.
2.
In the navigation tree, select Certificate Manager, select Publishing, and then
3.
select Publishers.
The right pane displays the Publishers Management tab, which lists configured
publisher instances.
