Identity Manager and ADCS connection
Identity Manager and ADCS connection

In the communication between Smart ID Identity Manager and the ADCS, the following components are involved:

Identity Manager Server

  • The Identity Manager server contains CA-Server and CA-Name, and connects directly to the Connector ADCS.

  • The integrated CA Proxy connector is used as proxy for the client machines.

IIS Webserver - Connector ADCS

  • The IIS Webserver with the ADCS Connector does not need to be installed on the ADCS-Server, but on a server in the same domain.

  • Identity Manager authenticates with a client certificate on the ADCS Connector. 

  • The ADCS Connector uses a Domain Service Account, which has the required rights in ADCS.

Certificate Authority (CA)

  • This is the ADCS server. The Domain Service Account of the connector is used to request and publish certificates from and to the CA.
