The Digi-CA™ RA/API system is account based, therefore in order to be able to implement and use the system, the RA API account needs to be setup first on the Digi-CA™ Certificate Engine core system. Before implementing the RA API you must contact the Digi-CAST™ [4] Team to ensure you have the latest version and release notes.
The entire RA/API system is based on a flat and secure communication between the RA API and the Digi-CA™ Certificate Engine Core system. It is achieved using the HTTP ‘POST’ method secured with an SSL/TLS layer on top of a standard TCP/IP connection.
Depending on the specific action that needs to be completed by the Administrator, i.e.: Digi-ID™ [5] request, Digi-ID™ approval, Digi-ID™ suspension, Digi-ID™ revocation or other request, a different URL will be used for each individual action.
Relevant points below are an overview of the steps involved in the Digi-CA™ RA operations using the RA/API.
