Introduction
EJBCA Publishers
Slide Deck: EJBCA Publishers
Overview: This second part of this lab configures the VA peer publisher, which will be used to "push" over the certificate & CRL data for our VA (OCSP) server.
NOTE: In the last step of this lab the data will be manually pushed to the VA instance. When the "EJBCA Services" module is discussed later, a service will be configured to "auto-magically" push this information going forward.
