The public keys passed to (or generated by) the ADSS Certification Service can be certified by using either an Internal CA or an External CA. To meet specialised attribute certificate requirements an internal Attribute Authority can also be configured. Also, to generate CV Certificates for E-Passport, CVCA or DVCA must be configured. 

All these approaches are described in the CA Manager module.
