MCSA Certification Administrative Template Files
The online responder consists of the service that holds the web proxy cache for the online responder, the revocation Configuration to determine how the responder responds to requests, the ability to issue digitally signed keys, and audits.
The separate revocation provider components function along with the online mcitp: server administrator responder by caching revocation information for the online responder. Then, whenever the online responder receives a request, it may request a revocation provider to cross-check the requested certi?cate serial number.
