Managing Mapper and Publisher Plug-in Modules
This section explains how to use the CMS window to perform the following
operations:
• Registering a Mapper or Publisher Module
• Deleting a Mapper or Publisher Module
Registering a Mapper or Publisher Module
You can register new mapper or publisher plug-in modules in a Certificate
Manager’s publishing framework. Registering a new mapper or publisher module
involves specifying the name of the module and the full name of the Java class that
implements the mapper or publisher interface. For example, you can add a mapper
implementation, named as follows, to the Certificate Manager’s policy framework:
com.netscape.publishing.customMapper
Before registering a plug-in module, be sure to put the Java class for the module in
the
classes
directory (the implementation must be on the class path).
To register a policy module in a Certificate Manager’s publishing framework:
1.
Log in to the CMS window (see “Logging In to the CMS Window” on
page 343).
2.
Select the Configuration tab.
3.
In the navigation tree, select Certificate Manager, and then select Publishing.
4.
Select the appropriate object under Publishing:
❍
To register a mapper module, select Mappers, and then in the right pane,
select the Mapper Plugin Registration tab.
❍
To register a publisher module, select Publishers, and then in the right
pane, select the Publisher Plugin Registration tab.
