  • Article

When used, certificate templates control the behavior of the CA that is accessed by the Windows Client Certificate Enrollment Protocol, as specified in [MS-WCCE], by specifying enrollment policies. If templates are not used, the CA behavior and the conduct of the Windows Client Certificate Enrollment Protocol are unconstrained. LDAP, as specified in [MS-ADTS], is the protocol that retrieves the certificate templates. The process of storing templates in the directory is an implementation-specific detail and is not specified in this document.
