Description:

Certificate System (CS) is an enterprise software system designed
to manage enterprise Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) deployments.

The Registration Authority (RA) is an optional PKI subsystem that acts as a
front-end for authenticating and processing enrollment requests, PIN reset
requests, and formatting requests.

An RA communicates over SSL with a Certificate Authority (CA) to fulfill
the user's requests. An RA may often be located outside an organization's
firewall to allow external users the ability to communicate with that
organization's PKI deployment.

For deployment purposes, an RA requires the following components from the PKI
Core package:

* pki-setup
* pki-native-tools
* pki-selinux

and can also make use of the following optional components from the PKI Core
package:

* pki-silent

Additionally, Certificate System requires ONE AND ONLY ONE of the following
"Mutually-Exclusive" PKI Theme packages:

* dogtag-pki-theme (Dogtag Certificate System deployments)
* redhat-pki-theme (Red Hat Certificate System deployments)
