Register Connectors

In order to start using the platform with any specific technology, we must register the Connector. We need two Connectors:

  • for basic Credential we use the Common Credential Provider implementing Credential Provider function group
  • for CA MS ADCS we use the MS ADCS Connector implementing Authority Provider function group

Register Connectors using the API​

The Connectors can be registered using the Connector API.

Register Common Credential Provider​

curl -X POST \
  --cacert [ca-cert] \
  --cert [client-cert] \
  --cert-type [type] \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json" \
  --data '
  {
    "name": "Common Credential Provider",
    "url", "https://common-credential-provider-service:8080"",
    "authType": "none"
  }' \
  https://[domain]:[port]/api/v1/connectors

When there is no error, Connector is successfully registered, and its uuid is sent back:

{
  "uuid": "93f74f2d-1bc7-4c15-a33e-0bf773b3955a"
}

Register MS ADCS Connector​

curl -X POST \
  --cacert [ca-cert] \
  --cert [client-cert] \
  --cert-type [type] \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json" \
  --data '
  {
    "name": "MS ADCS Connector",
    "url", "https://ms-adcs-conector-service:8080"",
    "authType": "none"
  }' \
  https://[domain]:[port]/api/v1/connectors

When there is no error, Connector is successfully registered, and its uuid is sent back:

{
  "uuid": "04cb011f-4497-4e45-b4b9-4975db9df0a0"
