Introduction

The idenprotect Core Platform can integrate with an external CA or it can use its own internal CA. Not all parameters are required for all CA Types.

Other CA related articles are Certificate Authority Server Configuration, Certificate Authority Stores Configuration

For more information on specific Certificate Authorities, see one of the following articles:

The idenprotect Core Platform submits Certificate Signing Requests to external CA and for each signing request, a template to be used will be specified.

The requests will be for up to 3 different types of certificate

1. Device/Default: Used to secure communications between the client and server 2. Secure Enclave: The key stored in the device's secure hardware 3. Ephemeral (ERSA): Key with a short lifetime used for mutual TLS


It is possible to specify which Certificate Template will be used by idenprotect for each certificate type when submitting signing requests to an external CA. (These settings have no effect when using the internal CA)
