Base templates
The base template is where the configuration of a certificate starts. Base templates are used to create certificate profiles, which in turn are used to issue certificates.
Each base template has a corresponding seat type and set of available certificate options. It is important to choose the right base template as the starting point when creating a certificate profile.
