Auto-Approve by CA Template Tools & Utilities
PRODUCT
Overview
CAAutoApproval.ps1 is a PowerShell script driven by an Adaptable Workflow object in Certificate
Manager, Self-Hosted. The script evaluates the location of an X.509 certificate object's CA template
to determine whether the residing parent policy folder DN matches a designated "auto-approve" policy
folder DN. When they match, the workflow stage is automatically approved during enrollment or renewal;
otherwise the workflow object falls back to its configured approval behavior.
SOLUTION HIGHLIGHTS
- Streamline certificate issuance by auto-approving requests that use pre-approved CA templates
- Preserve manual review for CA templates that reside outside the designated policy folder
- Configurable per policy folder via a standard Adaptable Workflow object
- Optional debug logging for troubleshooting approval decisions
Prerequisites
- A policy folder in which CA templates designated for auto-approval have been placed.
