Configure Data Input - Issuer Certificate Publication

Validation Authority can publish CA certificates for use by Validation Responders in responding to DPD requests. For information on DPD request, refer to Delegated Path Discovery.

On the Configuration page, click configure Issuer Certificate Publication.
Select the Publish Expired Certificates option to force Validation Authority to include expired CA certificates in the published data. Clear this option to omit such certificates from the published data.
Enter the Output directory that specifies the location where Validation Authority writes the issuer certificate data file.
Enter the Output Filename that specifies the name of the file in which Validation Authority writes the issuer certificate data.
Depending on your OS, enter the Post-execution command that specifies a command that Validation Authority should execute immediately after the issuer certificate data file is created. Typically, you can copy the newly generated data file to a new location for retrieval by a Validation Responder.

For example, on a Validation Authority running on a Unix operating system, run a similar command as follows:
Copy
```
/usr/local/scripts/securecopy {} /mnt/server/staging
```
Where {} will be automatically replaced by the newly generated file’s path.

On a Validation Authority running on a Windows operating system, run a similar command as follows:
Copy
```
xcopy.exe /Y {} F:\staging
```
Where {} will be automatically replaced by the newly generated file’s path and /Y indicates that the script should overwrite older files without prompting.
Enter the Maximum post-execution time that specifies (in seconds) how long a post-execution command is allowed to execute before being forced to terminate by Validation Authority.
