How to grant or deny certificate requests manually

In the Certificate Requests manager, click the Certificate Requests tab.
Select one or more certificate requests that have the status Pending.
Click one of the following buttons:
- Grant the selected certificate requests.
  
  The data processing server sends certificates to the computer. When you grant a certificate request, its status changes to Granted. The certificate request is added to a queue, and the data processing server processes each request in turn. After the data processing server issues certificates to a computer, it sets the status of the certificate request to Succeeded. If the data processing server cannot connect to the certificate client on a computer, it sets the status of the certification request to Failed.
- Deny the selected certificate requests.
  
  The data processing server informs the computer that its certificate request is denied.
Optional. Select certificate requests that have the state Succeeded or Denied, and then click the Delete Item button to remove them from the list.

Troubleshooting

Triggering new certificate requests

If you deny a certificate request, it is not possible to subsequently grant that request. However, you can trigger a new certificate request as follows:

On the computer that needs a certificate, open a command or shell prompt.
On computers that run a UNIX or Linux operating system, make sure that the PATH variable contains the correct path to the certificate client commands:
- On HP-UX, Solaris, or Linux, type export PATH=/opt/OV/bin:$PATH and then press Enter.
- On AIX, type export PATH=/usr/lpp/OV/bin:$PATH and then press Enter.
- On Tru64, type export PATH=/usr/opt/OV/bin:$PATH and then press Enter.
Type the following command:

ovcert -certreq
In the Certificates Requests tab, click the Refresh button to reload the list of certificate requests.
Select the new certificate request, and then click the Grant Item button to grant the request.
