3.3.2.1 Acquire the Server's Certificate

When publishing content, the RMS client application has to have the public key from the server's server licensor certificate (SLC) to encrypt the symmetric content key and usage rights in the publishing license (PL). This way, only the server can decrypt these elements, which it does to generate use licenses. To get the server's SLC, the RMS client application sends a request to the GetLicensorCertificate operation. No custom data is sent in this request, and when the server receives the request, it returns the SLC to the RMS client application.
