General Settings

To create a new profile, click the New button. This will present the following wizard:

Each element of the form is described below:

Items	Description
Status	An XKMS profile may be marked Active or Inactive. Note an inactive profile will not be used to process certificate validation requests.
Profile ID	A Mandatory field which provides a system-defined unique identifier for this profile.
Configuration ID	A unique identifier that is incremented by "1" at each XKMS profile update/revision. If the user wants to verify which profile settings were used to validate a request, then by clicking the Configuration ID in the transaction logs against that record, changed fields are highlighted compared to the current state. The unique ID represents the latest state. On policy create operation the default value is set to “1”.
Profile Name	A unique name defined by the ADSS Administrator for easier recognition of the profile within the ADSS Operator Console. The field is Mandatory but is not included in service request messages.
Profile Description	An Optional field. This can be used to describe the profile in more detail (e.g. in which circumstances will this XKMS profile be used). This is for information purposes only.

Clicking the Next button will display the Trust Anchor Settings page.
