If authentication is successful, the new certificate will be imported into your
browser. You should make a backup copy of the certificate.
Now you have a client authentication certificate in the name
CMS Administrator
.
This special user name, which you specified as the initial administrator for
Certificate Management System during installation, has now been designated as
the first agent. The certificate you just created allows you to access the Agent
Services pages. As an agent, you can approve enrollment requests and start issuing
new certificates. To access the CMS windows in Netscape Console, you use the
CMS administrator user ID and the CMS password.

no longer available from the agent port. If something goes wrong and you are
unable to obtain the initial agent certificate, you must reset a parameter in the
configuration file to make the initial Administrator/Agent Certificate Enrollment
form available again. Follow these steps:
