HTML Forms for End Users
Each type of end-entity form provided by a Registration Manager or Certificate
Manager determines the type of client, such as Communicator or Internet Explorer,
and presents the appropriate input page. Each form also specifies both an
authentication module and an output template. The authentication module is used
by the servlet to authenticate the end entity; the output template is an HTML page
that returns information from the servlet to the end entity.
Figure 2-9 shows the default manual enrollment form as it is presented to end users
running Communicator 4.5. Users can click items in the left menu and tabs to
access other HTML forms. Server administrators, including CMS administrators,
can also access forms for enrolling servers or subsystems. Any of these forms can
be customized to reflect an organization’s requirements.
