6.5. Creating Online Certificate Status Manager Agents and
Administrators
When the subsystem is configured, there is a default user created with both administrator and agent
privileges. This user can perform both administrator and agent operations and access the Console and
the agent services page.
To create additional administrator, agent, or auditor users, create a user in the Certificate System
instance where the user will have privileges and assign the user to the appropriate group. An agent
or auditor must have a certificate stored in the subsystem's internal database. If the Console is
configured for SSL client authentication, all administrators must also a certificate.
To create a new user entry, do the following:
1. Log into the administrative console.
