Access to the agent services forms requires certificate-based authentication. Only users who authenticate with the correct certificate and who have been granted the proper access privilege can access and use the forms. Operations are performed over SSL, so the server connection uses HTTPS on the SSL agent port. The agent services URLs have the following format:
https://hostname:port/subsystem_type/agent/subsystem_type
If a CA is installed on a host named server.example.com running on port 9443, the agent services interface is opened using the following URL:
https://server.example.com:9443/ca/agent/ca
There is also a services page for each subsystem. The URL for the services page would be like the following:
https://server.example.com:9443/ca/services
The services page has links to the all of the HTML pages for the subsystem, such as agent and end-entities, as well as the admin page if the subsystem has not yet been configured.
NOTE
The services pages are written in HTML and are intended to be customized. This document describes the default pages. If an administrator has customized the agent services pages, those pages may differ from those described here. Check with the Certificate System administrator for information on the local installation.
