<h1 class="topictitle1">Manage applications in DCM</h1>
<div><p>This topic provides information about creating application
definitions and how to manage an application's certificate assignment. You
can learn about defining CA trust lists that applications use as the basis
of accepting certificates for client authentication. </p>
<p>You can use Digital Certificate Manager (DCM), to perform various management
tasks for SSL-enabled applications and object signing applications. For example,
you can manage which certificates your applications use for Secure Sockets
Layer (SSL) communications sessions. The application management tasks that
you can perform vary based on the type of application and the certificate
store in which you are working. You can manage applications from the *SYSTEM
or *OBJECTSIGNING certificate stores only.</p>
<p>While most application management tasks that DCM provides are easy to understand,
a few of these tasks may not be familiar to you. For more information about
these tasks, review these topics: </p>

Review this topic to learn how about the two different types of applications that you can define and work with.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzahumngsyscertapp.htm">Manage the certificate assignment for an application</a></strong><br />
You must use Digital Certificate Manager (DCM) to assign a certificate to an application before the application can perform a secure function, such as establishing a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) session or signing an object.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzahumngcaapptrust.htm">Define a CA trust list for an application</a></strong><br />
Applications that support the use of certificates for client authentication during a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) session must determine whether to accept a certificate as valid proof of identity. One of the criteria that an application uses for authenticating a certificate is whether the application trusts the Certificate Authority (CA) that issued the certificate.</li>
