Failed Requests includes all requests for
certificates that have failed. The Certificate Templates folder contains templates for all
the different kinds of certificates this CA can issue.
Each CA server has its own set of properties that you can configure. To access these
properties, right-click the CA server name and select Properties. You??™ll see 10 tabs used
to display the configuration of your server and in many cases to allow you to change
various aspects of its behavior.
The General tab (Figure 12-7) shows the CA certificates assigned to your server. If
this is a clean install, you will see only one certificate??”the certificate you generated during
the installation. If you renewed or created new certificates since it was first installed,
a list of those certificates will be displayed, including the provider and hash algorithm
used by your certificate.

The Policy Module tab displays the active policy module being used by the server. In
this case, we installed only the Windows default policy module, so that module is displayed.
For the Windows default policy, if you click the Properties tab, you can configure
how your server will handle requests (Figure 12-8). You can allow it to use whatever settings
you??™ve configured for your certificate template (selected by default) or you can set
all certificate request statuses to pending, which means someone will have to manually
approve each certificate that is generated.
