When you generate a request and submit it to Certificate Services 2.0
through the Web pages, the server places a cookie on your computer. The
server uses this cookie to look up the pending requests that you made when
you return to check the status of your pending requests.

Thus, the request can ve viewed only from the computer / by the user
requesting the certificate.
