Chapter 17. ExtJoiner (Adding Cerificate Extensions to Requests)
The Certificate System provides policy plug-in modules that allow standard and custom X.509 certificate extensions to be added to end-entity certificates that the server issues. Similarly, the Certificate Setup Wizard that generates certificates for subsystem users allows extensions to be selected and included in the certificates. The wizard interface and the request-approval page of the agent interface contain a text area to paste any extension in its MIME-64 encoded format.
The text field for pasting the extension accepts a single extension blob. To add multiple extensions, they must first be combined into a single extension blob, then pasted into the text field. The
ExtJoiner tool joins multiple extensions together into a single MIME-64 encoded blob. This new, combined blob can then be pasted in the wizard text field or the request-approval page of the agent interface to specify multiple extensions at once.
