External Services
ADSS Web RA requires certain external services to seamlessly execute its routine operations. For each such service, an exclusive set of configuration is saved inside ADSS Web RA Admin to communicate with the external endpoint (i.e. Server) in order to use that service.
Here is the list of external services which are used in ADSS Web RA:
- ADSS Server - it works as a certificate authority (CA) and provides certification signing services. Additionally, it is used to create virtual IDs for remote authorization and CSP user IDs to support desktop signing.
- Email Gateway - it provides emails services to send the notification emails to the Admins and the Subscribers against any action on the certificate requests. It is sends OTP via Email Authentication that is required at the time of Login, Revoking a certificate, and/ or Renewing a certificate.
- SMS Gateway - it provides SMS service for OTP via SMS Authentication that is required at the time of Login, Revoking a Certificate, and/ or Renewing a certificate.
- Google Captcha - it provides foolproof security against denial of service and spam attacks.
