You can create up to four levels of organizational unit (OU) certifiers. To create first-level OU certifier IDs, you use the organization certifier ID. To create second-level OU certifier IDs, you use the first-level OU certifier IDs, and so on.
Do one:
To create an organizational unit certifier ID
