Re: Ptr to doc on "how end-entity authenticates cert_req to CA"

["Bob Blakley" <blakley@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Bill,

This isn't specified; it is left up to the CA service provider to determine
and state in his certification practice statement.
It's an operational trust parameter which might be handled differently by
different providers whose
clients use the certificates for tasks of varying degrees of sensitivity.
