After the agent sets the action to Approve Request and clicks Submit, the certificate is generated and available to the user
through the end-entities page. If notifications have been set, then an email will be sent to the requester automatically.
4. Sending an Issued Certificate to the Requester
When the Certificate Manager has issued a certificate in response to a request, the user who requested it must receive a
copy to install locally. Users install user certificates, such as agent certificates, in client software. Server administrators in-
stall servers certificates in the servers that they manage.
Depending on how the Certificate System is configured, an end user who requests a certificate might receive automatic
email notification of the success of the request; this email message contains either the certificate itself or a URL from
which the user can get the certificate.
If the system is not configured for automatic notification or if the requester is a server administrator, the issued certificate
must be sent manually to the requester by the agent, or the requester must be directed to retrieve it up from the Certificate
Manager's end-entities page.
Figure 3.5, “A Newly Issued Certificate Page” shows a web page containing a new certificate. This is the page shown after
the agent selects Approve this certificate request.
