Configuring Authentication for End-User Enrollment
530
Netscape Certificate Management System Installation and Setup Guide • October 2001
When naming an authentication instance (or rule), be sure to formulate the name
using any combination of letters (aA to zZ), digits (0 to 9), an underscore (_), and a
hyphen (-); other characters and spaces are not allowed. For example, you can type
My_Auth_Rule
or
MyAuthRule
as the instance name, but not
My Auth Rule
.
Also note that when you add an authentication instance, the CMS configuration is
updated with authentication-specific information only. The server does not
associate the authentication instance you added with any of the end-user
enrollment forms—that is, the end-user servlets that should use this authentication
instance are not configured yet. You make this association by manually embedding
the authentication instance name in the enrollment forms.
By default, the enrollment forms include authentication instance names listed in
Table 15-1. Note that the authentication instances are not created by default; only
the instance names are embedded in the forms for your convenience. If you create
authentication instances with the default names, you can skip the step (“Step A.
Associate the Authentication Instance With the Enrollment Form” on page 534)
that explains how to update an enrollment form to associate it with the name of an
authentication instance.
Figure 15-5 shows the default directory-based enrollment form configured to use
an authentication instance named
UserDirEnrollment
.
