Review pending certificate requests
Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1, Windows Server 2003 with SP2
To review pending certificate requests
Log on to the system as a Certification Authority Administrator or Certificate Manager.
Open Certification Authority.
In the console tree, click Pending Requests.
Where?
- Certification Authority (Computer)/CA name/Pending Requests
In the details pane, examine the certificate request by noting the values for requester name, requester e-mail address, and any other fields that you consider critical information for issuing the certificate.
Notes
To open Certification Authority, click Start, click Control Panel, double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Certification Authority.
Failed certificate requests can also be issued using the same procedure in the Failed Requests container. However, not all of the security requirements for the certificate can be verified when issuing a failed request. Caution should be used.
