The Alliance is still developing support for NT's Service Pack 5.0. It also offers a version for Solaris and one for AIX due in the next quarter. The trickiest part of initial setup was supplying the proper information about LDAP fields to the configuration wizard for creating user enrollment screens. We easily enrolled users by pointing their browsers to the CMS server, provided their personal information was already in the LDAP directory. However, site administrators who need to go beyond the CMS defaults must read lots of documentation before configuring CMS' policy rules management.
Policies control such features as certificate extensions and expiration dates by group.
