Abstract
A local server (202) locally hosts the provision of digital certificate services to a client (102); while a central server (104) provides the actual digital certificate services. The local server (202) transmits (304) a custom entry form (210) to the client (102). In response to the client's (102) use of the custom entry form (210), the client (102) transmits (306) a standard request for digital certificate services to a central server (104), possibly via the local server (202). The central server (104) fulfills (310) the request, generating a standard response. The standard response is transmitted (312) to the local server (202), which generates (314) a custom display of the results contained in the standard response. The custom display is transmitted (316) to the client (102), fulfilling the client's request. Information is provided (320,330), enabling the local server (202) to create (322) appropriate custom entry forms (210) and to generate (314) the custom display from the standard response. The communications between local server (202) and central server (104) preferably are secured.
