A.2. Output Reference

An output is the response to the end user of a successful enrollment.

A.2.1. Certificate Output

This output displays the certificate in pretty-print format. This output cannot be configured or changed. It does not display anything other than the certificate in pretty-print format.
This output needs to be specified for any automated enrollment. Once a user successfully authenticates using the automated enrollment method, the certificate is automatically generated, and this output page is returned to the user. In an agent-approved enrollment, the user can get the certificate, once it is issued, by providing the request ID in the end-entities page.

Example A.14. 

caAdminCert.cfg:output.o1.class_id=certOutputImpl

A.2.2. PKCS #7 Output

A.2.3. nsNSKeyOutput

This class implements the output plug-in that returns the DER encoded certificates for token keys.

A.2.4. CMMF Output
