4868: The certificate manager denied a pending certificate request
On this page
Certification Authorities and Certificate Templates can be configured to require approval by an administrator or certificate manager before the certificate is signed and issued by the CA. In such cases the certificate request is accepted into the Pending Requests folder of the Certification Authority MMC snap-in. The certificate manager can then Issue or Deny the request. This event is logged when the manager denies the request.
To get the details on the request including who requested it you will need to look in the log for other events with the same Request ID.
This event event is only logged if "Issue and manage certificate requests" is enabled on the Audit tab of the CA's properties in Certificate Services MMC snap-in and of course if the Certificate Services audit subcategory is enabled with auditpol.
