Table 4-24 provides details for each of these parameters.
RemoveBasicConstraintsExt Plug-in Module
The
RemoveBasicConstraintsExt
plug-in module implements the remove basic
constraints extension policy. This policy, if enabled, can detect the presence of Basic
Constraints extension in a certificate request and remove it. For details about the
Basic Constraints extension, see “BasicConstraintsExt Plug-in Module” on
page 144.
Table 4-24 Description of parameters defined in the PrivateKeyUsagePeriodExt module
Parameter Description
enable
Specifies whether the rule is enabled or disabled. Check the box to enable the rule.
Uncheck the box to disable the rule (default).
• If you enable the rule and set the remaining parameters correctly, the server adds
the private key usage period 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:
HTTP_PARAMS.certType==client
critical

specified by the

the extension critical. Uncheck the box if you want the server to mark the extension
noncritical (default).
