  • You will require the following values:
    • CA Name
    • Web Service Root URL
    • CRL URL
    • SSL Client Certificate
    • Client Certificate Password
    • SSL Server Certificate
    • Fully Qualified DN

  1. Log in to the Unifyia platform.
  2. On the Dashboard page, navigate to Integrations > Certificate Authority. The Certificate Authority page appears.
  3. Select + Add Certificate Authority.
  4. Enter the following information:
    1. Provider: Select MSCA from the drop-down list.
    2. CA Name: Enter the name of the CA created in the CA server.
    3. Name: Enter the display name or a common name for this CA.
    4. Description: Enter a brief description of this CA integration.
    5. Web Service Root URL: Please input the web service root URL. This is the base URL or endpoint where the CA's web services are hosted.
