22ENTERPRISE OS SOFTWARE VERSION 11.4 RELEASE NOTES

Features of PKI Manager version 1.0

■Multi-Enterprise PKI Management: Administrators can use the application to manage multiple enterprises (or different business units of an enterprise) separately.

■Limited RA functionality: The application uses a proprietary Enrollment key mechanism to authenticate Enterprise OS devices.

■Certificate proxy: To eliminate the need of each device talking to the CA, PKI Manager negotiates the certificates from the CAs on behalf of the device. PKI Manager will receive a generic (PKCS#10) certificate request from the device and wrap it into a CA- specific CRS (for example, Versign uses PKCS#7). The certificate request will be sent to the CA using the protocol supported by the CA (for example, Verisign uses HTTP).

■Certificate Management: The administrator can view the CRLs and certificate status (for example, valid/about, expire/expired/revoke, requested/revoked/installed, or not installed) using the different views of the application.
