A Gateway is a lightweight, container-based module implementing a CA-agnostic Certificate Lifecycle and Policy Management API. Using CA Gateway, your applications can implement certificate issuance, renewal, and revocation actions across all your Entrust-supported Certification Authorities (CAs). CA Gateway provides policy retrieval capabilities that applications can use to customize API and user-facing dialogs to ensure that certificate actions conform to organizational policies.
CA Gateway supports easy upgrades using container technology. We maintain backward compatibility on the API so you can upgrade CA Gateway without worrying that consuming applications will encounter API problems.
