Today in enterprise networks there are a number of existing connections, such as users and network peripherals to an Active Directory Certificate Services (AD CS) server which provides the public key infrastructure (PKI) functionality; such as create, validate and revoke public key certificates for internal uses of an organization. With the proliferation of the Internet of Things (IoT), many new types of devices, for example security cameras, connected cars, and industrial robots in manufacturing or hospital environments, also need access to the AD CS server. But as these devices are external to the enterprise network, they cannot connect to the AD CS server directly and managing the security for them is difficult and can be complex. This connectivity and device security management can be solved with Device Authority’s KeyScaler AD CS connector to provide the PKI functionality such as private certificate signing service from AD CS Server.
