SPOC Server

In an E-Passport Extended Access Control (EAC) infrastructure, the SPOC acts as a bridge to forward DV certificates requests to national and foreign CVCAs. The domestic DVs make requests to SPOC to get a certificate from national or foreign CVCAs.
For this purpose, ADSS SPOC is configured on a DVCA instance as an external CA.

Select the SPOC Server from the CA Type drop down. The following page will be shown to configure the SPOC Server:
