Associating a certificate with a user-provided certificate enrollment setting

When the user uploads a certificate, the user chooses a configuration to associate with the certificate. The configuration refers to a user-provided certificate enrollment setting that you configured. When you configure a user-provided certificate enrollment setting, you specify a display name. The user portal presents the display name in its list of configurations for the user to choose.

For example, you might create a user-provided certificate enrollment setting for S/MIME signing, another for S/MIME encryption, and another for server authentication. Each setting has a display name:

When the user uploads a certificate, they see these display names as configurations, and they choose the one for the certificate. The user can upload the same certificate or different certificates for each configuration.

If you have not created at least one user-provided certificate enrollment setting, the user portal disables the option for the user to upload a certificate.
