The IX509Enrollment interface represents the top level object and enables you to enroll in a certificate hierarchy and install a certificate response. The enrollment process supports the following three scenarios:
-
Out-of-band enrollment
- Call any initialization method implemented by the IX509Enrollment object.
- Call the CreateRequest method.
- Submit the request out of band (manually or through some other process).
- Receive the response from a certification or registration authority.
- Call the InstallResponse method.
- Automatic enrollment
- Call any initialization method implemented by the IX509Enrollment object.
- Call the Enroll method.
- Delayed enrollment
- Call any initialization method implemented by the IX509Enrollment object.
- Call the CreateRequest method.
- Store the request for a period of time such as days or weeks.
- Call the Initialize method to create a request object when you are ready to enroll.
- Populate the request object from your stored request.
- Call the InstallResponse method.
