Handbook for Organisation Adminstrator
Tasks of as CAcert Organisation Adminstrator
The primary task of a CAcert Organisation Adminstrator (OrgAdmin) is to create and maintain client- and server certificates for the organisation.
. 
The OrgAdmin has two additional areas in the web interface of CAcert. With Org Client Certs the client and mail certificates of the organisation are maintained, with Org Client certs the server certificates of the organisation. The entry mask are quite similar to the one that are visible for every CAcert member.
Client Certificate Adminstration
Basically the adminstration of client certificates for organisations is the same as for normal client certifcates. The input mask is slightly different.
. 
The entered email address must belong to one of the domains that are registered for the orgaanisation. Other email addresses are not allowed.
If an email address is used by a CAcert member in his private account it must be revoked first in the private account before the OrgAdmin can issue the one for the organisation.
The name of the persomn should be entered. The name will be displayed in the certificate next to the organisation .
If the department is entered the entry will be displyed as OU-entry.
Server Certificate Adminstration
Basically the adminstration of server certificates for organisations is the same as for normal server certificates.
. 
Enter your certificate request (CSR) in the textbox. More information about the creation of a CSR can be found here http://wiki.cacert.org/HELP/4 and http://wiki.cacert.org/CSR.
All information except the one the Organisational Unit (OU) will be replaced by the information that is entered for the organisation.
Remarks
The OrgAdmin is responsible for the correct data.
This applies especially for the name in client certificates. Here is the need to check wethere the person is realy the the responsible person for the email address.
The OrgAdmin cannot add other Organisation Admintrators or domains. This is only done by the Organisation Assurer. They can be reached over <support AT SPAMFREEFOREVER cacert DOT org>.
If there is the need to create certificates with code signing ability, the OrgAdmin must ask for the code signing ability in his personal account as this is heritaged from there. The code signing ability can be requested with as simple mail to <support AT SPAMFREEFOREVER cacert DOT org>.
