9.1. Basic Operations for an Agent and Administrator
The TPS agent services page contains two tabs, one for agent operations and one for administrator operations. The agent operations cover routine token management such as setting the token status, searching and listing tokens and certificates, resetting token PINs, and searching the TPS internal database. The administrator page has additional options to add and delete tokens from the database.
An administrator user is created when the TPS instance is first configured. This user has both administrator and agent privileges. The administrator can create additional agents by creating new user entries in the LDAP database. For more information on creating users in the Red Hat Directory Server, see the Directory Server Administration Guide.
There is no HTML end entities page for TPS services since end entity tasks are performed through the Enterprise Security Client.
The TPS agent tasks include the following:
Listing tokens.
Adding new tokens by token CUID.
Editing token attribute token policies.
Searching tokens by CUID or user ID.
Listing certificates associated with tokens.
