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).
Prerequisites
The following prerequisites apply:
Create folder
- In AWB, select New > Folder.
- In the Create Folder Request dialog, enter a folder name in Name.
If the new folder is to be a sub-folder of an existing folder, click the Parent browse button to open the Select Folder window. Otherwise leave Parent empty to create a top-level folder.
In Contents, click + to open the Select an entity window.
Select the required entity and click OK. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all the relevant entities have been entered into the folder contents.
- Click OK to return to the AWB window. The new folder is displayed in the explorer bar.
Modify folder
- In AWB, select the folder to be modified.
- Select Modify from the Edit menu, the toolbar or the entity's shortcut menu.
You can:
modify the Name that should appear in the explorer bar of the AWB window.
add or remove entities with the + and - buttons.
change the display order of the entities with the > and < buttons.
- Click OK when done.
Delete folder
- In AWB, select the folder to be deleted.
- Select Delete from the Edit menu, the toolbar or the entity's shortcut menu.
- Click Yes in the Confirm delete dialog box.
- Select Refresh to remove the deleted folder from the AWB window.
