The Certificate Authority provides a built-in CA Gateway REST API to perform remote operations on certificate authorities.
This built-in API exposes CA Gateway endpoints without requiring installation of the CA Gateway solution.
To invoke the CA Gateway API of the Certificate Authority
Install on your system a credential generated as described in Creating CA Gateway API credentials.
Allowed REST operations are restricted to the certificate authorities selected for the credential and the roles granted for each authority.
Open your web browser at the following URL.
https://<hostname>:7443/cagw
Where<hostname>is the PKI Hub hostname or IP address.When prompted by the browser, select the certificate associated with the installed credential.
