Device authorization 

To control which devices can request certificates, authorization is required. Different enrollment protocols require different authorization. 

Certificate Manager allows different authorization rules for different protocols, by configuration of protocol handlers. The access to a protocol handler can be restricted to administrators that are CM Officers with the configured roles. The authorization condition can be specified as default for a protocol or per protocol handler.

For more information, see each protocol description.
