If the certificate enrollment is not successful, contact your network administrator.
Managing Enrollment Requests
While a request is pending approval by the CA administration, the VPN Client places the enrollment
request in the list on the Certificates tab. You can view, delete, or change the password for any request
in the list; or you can retry a network enrollment request. To perform any of these actions, select the
pending enrollment request and click on the Certificate menu.
