Defining recommended settings for a request policy

Recommended Settings allow you to provide guidance to your Resource Owners when they create certificate requests using a particular request policy. This helps eliminate guess work and saves time by providing the settings ahead of time.

Info

Recommended settings are just that -- recommendations. If you want to require a specific value or set of values that Resource Owner must use for certificate requests, use issuing rules instead.

Important

You must be a System Administrator or PKI Administrator to do this.

  1. Sign in to Certificate Manager - SaaS.

  2. Click Policies > Request Policies..

  3. Click New if you're creating a new request policy,

    OR

    In the request policy list, click the name of the request policy to which you want to add recommended settings.

  4. In the Recommended Settings columns on the right, click Modify.

  5. Fill out each field with settings recommended for the request policy.

  6. When you're done, click Save.

    The request policy reflects the settings you defined.
