Following are main steps to be taken when configuring the ADSS CSP Service. The order in which the steps are defined is not important since it is easy to go back to an earlier step and also make changes later if required.

Steps

Description

Step 1:

Configure a Hardware Crypto Source for this service. It is a mandatory step if the user's keys must be held in an HSM for Signing. 

Step 2:

Configure the notification Settings i.e. Email and SMS settings, which will be used to send the email OTP to the user email address.

Step 3:

Configure one or more CSP Profiles that will be relevant for managing users, signing keys, password policies and getting the signed hash (i.e. PKCS#1 signature) and their current statuses. Client applications refer to the CSP Profile within their request messages sent to the ADSS CSP Service.

Step 4:

Register one or more client applications within the Client Manager. These can now be authorised to make requests to one or more CSP Profiles.

Step 5:

Use the ADSS CSP Service Manager to start/stop/restart the service. ADSS CSP Service is required to be restarted when a CSP Profile is added/updated/deleted.
