5.4.3 Temporary Certificates
A temporary classification can be assigned to certificates or subject names. This is done by selecting
the temporary check box when adding the certificate information. This can be useful in situations
where a temporary smart card is assigned to an individual. A typical case might be when an
individual misplaces or forgets his or her regular smart card. In this situation, a temporary smart card
could be issued to the individual and configured for a short period of time.
A temporary certificate is valid until the the specified expiration date. When configured, the user is
only able to log in using the temporary certificate. If the user attempts a login using his normal
certificate, the login fails. After the temporary certificate expiration date passes, the user can log in
again using his regular certificate. Expired temporary certificate information is automatically
deleted from the User object.
