Administrator's portal is used to configure the Web RA service. An administrator can change the general configurations of the system as well as configure external services to interact with. These services can be anything from SMTP to a ADSS Server profile configuration that can be used to request the certificates.


The changes made in this section are applicable at the application level so be careful when the application is running in the production environment. It is always have a good practice that you have a pre-production/staging environment when you test the changes before applying the production.


Configurations are classified into seven groups. Upon fresh installation, most of the settings come with a default value and you might not need to change them except few options e.g. the application URLs etc. but in a production environment, we highly recommend you to go through all the configurations and update them according to your needs.


The global configurations are classified in the following sections:


  • General Settings - Generic settings for the service including the application name and service URLs. This must be updated according to your application URLs
  • Default Settings - Some of the defaults that needs to be configured for the service e.g., default language, default timezone etc. 
  • Notifications - Settings related to notifications being sent from the service in case of an error in the application
  • Device Enrollment - Settings related to the SCEP configuration
  • Branding - If you want to re-brand the Web RA according to your organization them e.g. changing application colors, logo etc., you can do it from here 
  • Instances - Displays the status of each Web RA component (Admin, Web, API, Device). It is specially needed when the Web RA is deployed in the high availability or the load balanced mode
  • License -Provides the option to upload the Web RA license.
