To process a single request, perform the following steps: - On the PKI Services administration

- Make sure the request is the correct one by reviewing
the information in the top part of the Web page.
Guideline: If
this is a preregistered certificate request, examine the fingerprints (the
SHA1, SHA256, SHA512, and MD5 hashes) and contact the certificate
requestor to confirm that the fingerprints in this received request
match the fingerprints in the original request. These actions ensure
the integrity of the request. (The requestor can use the SCEP client
software to display the fingerprints saved for the original request.)

- Optionally insert a comment.

- Click one of the choices on the "Single Request" Web page
to process the request.
- Approve the request as is
- Approve the request with modifications
- Reject request
- Delete request
The choices on the "Single Request" Web page appear based
on the status of the request. For example: - If the status of a request is Pending Approval,
only the first three choices in the preceding list appear.
- If the administrator has already processed the request or if the
request is Preregistered, only Delete request appears.
- When you click Approve the request as is and
processing is successful, the result is a Web page that says "Processing
is successful", such as the one shown in Figure 2. (Otherwise, the Web page says "Processing
is not successful".)
Figure 2. Processing successful Web page
From
these Web pages, you can then click Process more request(s) to
return to the PKI Services administration
home page (Figure 1).
- When you click Approve the request with modifications,
this displays a "Modify and Approve Request" Web page similar
to the one shown in Figure 4.
If the
subject's distinguished name contained in the current request is not
in the proper format for RACF® processing,
you will see the note ( Figure 3) on
the "Modify and Approve Request" Web page. Figure 3. Restriction note on the modify and
approve request Web pageNote - the existing subject's name is not in a format that can
be recreated by PKI Services. Therefore, specifying any subject's
name field below will cause the existing name to be deleted and completely
replaced.
Restriction: If you receive the note shown in Figure 3, you cannot change any field of the
subject's distinguished name (the common name, organizational unit,
or organization field) without causing PKI Services to delete the
entire subject's distinguished name and replace it with your changed
values. (This is because the subject's distinguished name is not in
the proper format for RACF processing.)
Figure 4. Modifying the request Web page
On the "Modify and Approve Request" Web page, you can change
the following fields.When you are satisfied with the changes you have made, click Approve
with specified modifications; or, if you change your mind, you
can click Reset modified fields. Alternately, you can click Home
page to go to the PKI Services home page.
(See Figure 1.)
- When you click Reject request , this displays a Web page
that informs you that "Processing is successful" or that "Processing
is not successful". From these Web pages, click Process more
request(s) to return to the PKI Services administration
home page. (See Figure 1.)
- When you click Delete request, this displays a Web page
that informs you that "Processing is successful" or that "Processing
is not successful". On these Web pages, click Process more request(s) to
return to the PKI Services administration
home page. (See Figure 1.)
