then an email will be sent to the requester automatically.
4. Sending an Issued Certificate to the Requester
When the CM has issued a certificate in response to a request, the user who requested it must
receive a copy to install locally. Users install user certificates, such as agent certificates, in client
software. Server administrators install servers certificates in the servers that they manage.
Depending on how the Certificate System is configured, an end user who requests a certificate
might receive automatic email notification of the success of the request; this email message
contains either the certificate itself or a URL from which the user can get the certificate.
If the system is not configured for automatic notification or if the requester is a server
administrator, the issued certificate must be sent manually to the requester by the agent, or the
requester must be directed to retrieve it from the CM's end entities page.
Figure 4.5, “A Newly Issued Certificate Page” shows a web page containing a new certificate.
This is the page shown after the agent selects Approve this certificate request.
