Notes

• To open Certification Authority, click Start, point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Certification Authority.
• Display filters are essentially a way to make simple queries against a CA's database. By using filters, you can restrict the items displayed in the details pane of the Certification Authority snap-in to items that meet a set of criteria you establish. For example, you can create a filter that will display in the Issued Certificates folder only those certificates that were effective after a specific date.
• To remove a filter, click it in the Filter dialog box, and then click Remove.
• To remove all existing filters, in the Filter dialog box, click Reset.
