Configuration Parameters of NSCCommentExt

In the CMS configuration file, the

NSCCommentExt

module is identified as

<subsystem>.Policy.impl.NSCCommentExt.class=com.netscape.

cms.policy.NSCCommentExt

, where

(prefix identifying

the subsystem).

In the CMS window, the module is identified as

NSCCommentExt

. Figure 4-19

shows how the configurable parameters for the module are displayed in the CMS
window.

Figure 4-19

Parameters defined in the NSCCommentExt module

The configuration shown in Figure 4-19 creates a policy rule named

NetscapeCommentExtForClientCert

, which enforces a rule that the server should

set the Netscape certificate comment extension in client certificates.

Table 4-17 provides details for each of these parameters.
