This method returns HTTP 200 OK on a success with details about successful, failed and denied denial requests.

Note:  Certificate requests that require approval at the Keyfactor Command workflow level (see Workflow Definitions in the Keyfactor Command Reference Guide) are not managed with this endpointClosed An endpoint is a URL that enables the API to gain access to resources on a server.. Instead, refer to the Workflow Definitions and Workflow Instances endpoints (see Workflow Definitions and Workflow Instances).
Note:  Certificate requests that require approval at the CA level are supported only for Microsort CAs and select CA gateways. This feature is not supported for EJBCA CAs. Use workflow for configuring Keyfactor Command-level approvals for EJBCA CAs (see Workflow Definitions in the Keyfactor Command Reference Guide).
