System information

Data Recovery Manager Agent
Data Recovery Manager (DRM) agents initiate the recovery of lost keys and can obtain
information about key service requests and archived keys.
Note
Recovering lost or archived key information is done automatically in smart card
deployments because the TPS server is a DRM agent. Smart cards are marked
as lost in the TPS agent page, and then another smart card is later used to
recover the old encryption keys automatically during certificate enrollment.
Online Certificate Status Manager Agent
Online Certificate Status Manager (OCSM) agents can perform tasks such as:
• Checking which CAs are currently configured to publish their CRLs to the OCSM.
• Identifying a CM to the OCSM.
• Adding CRLs directly to the OCSM.
• Viewing the status of OCSP service requests submitted by OCSP-compliant clients.
Token Processing System Agent
Token Processing System (TPS) agents can perform tasks such as:
• Viewing smart card enrollment and formatting activities.
• Listing tokens in the token database.
• Editing token information.
• Deleting tokens from the token database
• Marking tokens as permanently lost, temporarily lost, or damaged.
Token Key Service Agent
There is no direct interface for Token Key Service (TKS) agents to interact with the system.
However, TKS agents can provide the secure communications channel through the TPS
server required for smart card operations through the token management system. The
allowed smart card operations are similar to those for TPS agents.
The privileged operations of an agent are performed through the Certificate System agent
services pages. For a user to access these pages, the user must have a personal SSL client
certificate and have been identified as a privileged user in the user database by the Certificate
System administrator. For more information on creating privileged users, see the Certificate
System Administrator's Guide.
