I’m most likely going to get yelled for this post (errr… crypto stuff). But, I always forget what these little guys mean and always have to go look them up. So, I thought that I would share some info with others that might just be interested.
Anyhow, the replacement tokens that I’m referring too are for Windows Certificate Services. These tokens consist of the percent sign plus a number and are used to represent certain values for CRLDistributionPoint and AuthorityInformationAccess locations. Typically, you use replacement tokens within a batch file that is used to configure certificate services or the CAPolicy.inf file. For example:
n6:http://cdp1.companyabc.com:80/pki/%%3%%8%%9.crl
So, what does that all mean? Well here is the link to the current token name mapping list for Windows Server 2003 – Link. I was going to post the Windows Server 2008 one, but it appears that there are some broken links on Technet right now.
BTW – If I haven’t said it before, you guys are more than welcome to ask questions. Sometimes, I’m at a loss for what to write about, not that I don’t have things in mind. But, it would be nice if I could drill into what people are looking for. :>) In case you all haven’t noticed, I like to create new content and not just repost stories(unless it is really interesting to me).
