If an organization is to issue client certificates, the MRAO assigns one key usage template (KUT) to that organization. Likewise if a department is to issue client certificates, the RAO assigns one KUT to that department. Thus only one KUT can be configured per organization or department. This means, for example, that if your Physics department wishes to use two types of certificates (e.g., signing-only and encryption-only), then you will have to create two departments in the CSM, something like "Physics-Signing" and "Physics-Encryption." Alternatively, depending on your deployment requirements, you may wish to architect your departments by function rather than by academic unit. For example, you could create three departments for the entire campus, say, "Standard Signing Cert," "Standard Encryption Cert," and "Standard Dual-Use Cert." How you create your departments is, of course, up to you.
