Installing the CA Connector Client
The Keyfactor CA Connector solution by Keyfactor allows organizations to make connections to Keyfactor Command from certificate authorities that are remote from their instance of Keyfactor Command to issue and manage certificates across enterprise infrastructures. Typically this is used to leverage existing on-premises CAs with an Azure-hosted, Keyfactor-managed instance of Keyfactor Command. Out-of-the-box, Microsoft and EJBCA CAs are supported.
The CA Connector Client of the type appropriate to the CA is installed in the CA-side environment (typically on-premises) to provide a connection to an local CA.
It runs on either Windows or Linux and can be installed either on the CA or on a separate machine on the same network. Connections to Microsoft CAs are only supported from CA Connector Clients running on Windows.
