3. Select the certificate request from the list.

4. The certificate request details page contains several tables with information about the

request:

• Request Information. Lists basic information about the request.

• Certificate Profile Information. Lists the certificate profile being used, along with basic

information about that certificate profile.

• Certificate Profile Inputs. Lists the inputs contained in the enrollment form for this certificate

profile as well as the values set by the requester.

• Policy Information. Lists the policies that apply to this certificate profile, including the

definition of the policy, the value placed in the certificate by this specific policy, and the

constraints placed on this policy.

To change any of the information contained in the certificate, such as the subject name or

validity period, change the settings in the policy information table in the certificate request.

Any policies that can be changed have either a drop-down list or an editable field.

For any changes, the values must be valid within the constraints placed on a policy. If a

change is made outside the constraint, the request will not validate. An invalid request must

be changed before a certificate is issued.

5. Choose an action from the menu at the bottom of the page:

• Approve Request. Approves the request and issues the certificate.

• Update Request. Updates the request with any modified information. The status of the

request does not change.

• Validate Request. Confirms that the request conforms to the constraints for issuing that

type of certificate. The request is confirmed as valid, or the system returns a list of fields

that need to be edited.

• Reject Request. Rejects the request.

• Cancel Request. Cancels the request without issuing a certificate or a rejection.

For more information on how to adjust parameters associated with certificate
