This article describes how to create, modify and delete a folder within Smart ID Certificate Manager (CM).
A folder can be used to hold references to any of the Certificate Authority (CA) entities (such as keys, officers, certificates etc.), so that related entities can be located easily. A typical folder tree could contain all the keys, procedures and officers relevant to a CA or its subordinate CAs.
These tasks are done in the Administrator's workbench (AWB).
