RA Service

The following configurations relating to the RA Service can be made within Client Manager:

Allow the client to access the ADSS RA Service.
Assign the RA Profiles which can be accessed by this client.
Configure a default RA Profile for this client.

Once a client is registered, permissions to access the RA service can be granted by editing this client. On the edit screen, clicking on the RA Service link at the top of the page shows the following screen:

Select the Allow this client to access the ADSS RA Service checkbox. This ensures that the client can make RA Service requests to ADSS Server. If the application also needs to access other ADSS services (e.g. verifying signed documents or generating and certifying user signing keys) then the relevant links (Verification Service, Certification Service etc.) should be followed to allow permissions for these services.

The next action is to define which RA profiles (configured within the ADSS RA Service) are to be made available to this client. RA profiles are server configurations that defines the settings for certificate management request. By default all the existing RA profiles will be made available to each newly registered client. Different clients may need to have access to different RA profiles. In order to allow access to a particular RA profile, simply move that profile from the left-hand group box labelled Available RA Profiles to the right-hand group box labelled Selected RA Profiles using the >> button shown in the screenshot above. Clients can only reference those RA profiles that are shown in the Selected RA Profiles. To remove access to a particular profile use the opposite << button to move the relevant profile back to the right-hand box.

The Profile Usage Map button provides an overview of which profiles are being used by which clients.

The Default RA Profile defines which profile to use in case the request message from this client does not reference any specific RA profile.

Click the Save button when the list is updated to store the changes.

Whenever configurations are updated on this page remember to restart the RA Service and have the changes take effect.
