3. Approving Requests

There are two ways that a certificate request is approved, depending on the user authentication

method required by the profile. In automatic enrollment, the Certificate System automatically

receives and approves the request if it meets established criteria. In manual enrollment, an

agent must review and approve the request. Before approving a request, an agent can adjust

some of the parameters, such as the subject name and validity period.

To adjust and approve a certificate request, do the following:

1. Open the agent services page.
