Netscape MANAGEMENT SYSTEM 6.2 - ADMINISTRATOR Administrator's Manual page 411

When the wizard generates the certificate signing request for the key size and type
you specified, you're presented with the opportunity to choose how you want to
submit the request to the CA. The choices include the following:
To CA's email address. This option allows you to send the CSR to the CA
administrator's email address. The administrator will then be required to
submit the request to the CA by pasting the CSR in the CA's server enrollment
form.
To CA's URL. This option allows you to submit the CSR to the CA directly. To
submit the CSR to the Certificate Manager, you should enter, depending on the
end-entity port you want to use, either of the following URL:
http://<CA's_hostname>:<end_entity_port>/enrollment
https://<CA's_hostname>:<end_entity_SSL_port>/enrollment
Note that the request submitted to the CA's URL gets queued for approval by
the Certificate Manager agent.
