<div><p>Use this information to learn how to configure everything
you need to ensure that you can use DCM to manage your certificates and their
keys.</p>
<p>Digital Certificate Manager (DCM) provides a browser-based user interface
that you can use to manage digital certificates for your applications and
users. The user interface is divided into two main frames: a navigation frame
and a task frame. </p>
<p>You use the navigation frame to select the tasks to manage certificates
or the applications that use them. While some individual tasks appear directly
in the main navigation frame, most tasks in the navigation frame are organized
into categories. For example, <span class="uicontrol">Manage Certificates</span> is
a task category that contains a variety of individual guided tasks, such as
View certificate, Renew certificate, Import certificate, and so forth. If
an item in the navigation frame is a category that contains more than one
task, an arrow appears to the left of it. The arrow indicates that when you
select the category link, an expanded list of tasks displays so that you may
choose which task to perform.</p>
<p>With the exception of the <span class="uicontrol">Fast Path</span> category, each
task in the navigation frame is a guided task that takes you through a series
of steps to complete the task quickly and easily. The Fast Path category provides
a cluster of certificate and application management functions which allows
experienced DCM users to quickly access a variety of related tasks from a
central set of pages.</p>
<p>Which tasks are available in the navigation frame vary based on the certificate
store in which you are working. Also, the category and number of tasks that
you see in the navigation frame vary depending on the authorizations that
your <span class="keyword">i5/OS™</span> user profile
has. All tasks for operating a CA, managing the certificates that applications
use, and other system level tasks are available only to <span class="keyword">iSeries™</span> security
officers or administrators. The security officer or administrator must have
*SECADM and *ALLOBJ special authorities to view and use these tasks. Users
without these special authorities have access to user certificate functions
only.</p>

<p>If you want like more educational information about using digital certificates
in an Internet environment for enhancing your system and network security,
the VeriSign Web site is an excellent resource. The VeriSign Web site provides
an extensive library on digital certificates topics, as well as a number of
other Internet security subjects. You can access their library at the <a href="http://digitalid.verisign.com/server/help/hlpIntroID.htm" target="_blank">VeriSign Help Desk</a><img src="www.gif" alt="Link outside the Information Center" /> .</p>
