Creating a Publisher for End-Entity Certificates
Creating a publisher for end-entity certificates involves creating an instance of a
publisher module that enables the Certificate Manager to publish an end-entity
certificate to the correct attribute in the end entity’s directory entry. Later, when
creating publishing rules for end-entity certificates, you specify the publisher you
create here.
To create a publisher for end-entity certificates, complete the procedure in Step B.3
above. When selecting the publisher module, be sure to choose the module named
LdapUserCertPublisher
as this is the only module that allows publishing to the
userCertificate;binary
attribute of a mapped-directory entry.
Creating a Publishing Rule for the CA Certificate
Creating a publishing rule for the CA certificate involves creating a rule that uses
the mapper and publisher that you created for the CA certificate in the previous
steps.
