Managing Policy Plug-in Modules
Chapter 11 Policies 563
For general information about this extension, see “authorityKeyIdentifier” on
page 737.
You can also customize the method for deriving the Key Identifier using the CMS
SDK by subclassing the policy and overriding the following method:
formKeyIdentifier(X509CertInfo certInfo, IRequest req)
If enabled, the policy adds a Subject Key Identifier Extension to an enrollment
request if the extension does not already exist. If the extension exists in the request,
for example from a CRMF request, the policy replaces the extension. In case of
agent-approved enrollments, after an agent approves the enrollment request, the
policy accepts any Subject Key Identifier Extension that is already there.
During installation, CMS automatically creates an instance of the subject key
identifier extension policy, named
SubjectKeyIdentifierExt
that is enabled by
default.
