Parameters defined in the PolicyConstraintsExt module
The configuration shown in Figure 4-23 creates a policy rule named
PolicyConsExtForCACert
, which enforces a rule that the server should set the
policy constraints extension in CA certificates only.
Table 4-22 gives details about each of these parameters.
Table 4-22 Description of parameters defined in the PolicyConstraintsExt module
Parameter Description
enable
Specifies whether the rule is enabled or disabled. Check the box to enable the rule
(default). Uncheck the box to disable the rule.
• If you enable the rule and set the remaining parameters correctly, the server adds
the policy constraints extension to certificates specified by the
predicate
parameter.
• If you disable the rule, the server does not add the extension to certificates; it
ignores the values in the remaining fields.
predicate
Specifies the predicate expression for this rule. If you want this rule to be applied to
all certificate requests, leave the field blank (default). To form a predicate expression,
see section “Using Predicates in Policy Rules” in Chapter 18, “Setting Up Policies” of
CMS Installation and Setup Guide.
Example:
