For certificate processing to work, you need to customize the end-user Web pages at least to some degree. Before you begin to customize Web pages, you need to understand the pkiserv.tmpl certificate templates file. This file contains certificate templates, which define the fields that comprise a specific certificate request. This topic describes the pkiserv.tmpl certificate templates file and explains how to use it to customize the end-user Web pages. This topic also explains the relationship between CGIs and the certificate templates file. Finally, this topic also discusses customizing e-mail notifications. (Sending e-mail notifications is an optional feature.)
