Signing Service (signingService-SigningService)

The Signing Service is intended primarily for the use on a Niagara Supervisor. As of Niagara 4.13, it allows components within remote stations to make secure Certificate Signing Requests (CSR) to obtain signed X509 certificates, then additional requests to renew these certificates before they expire. The Signing Service fulfills these requests by returning certificates signed by a designated Certificate Authority (CA).

This component is used to fulfill the requests of queuing incoming CSR requests from signing transports, and delegating the request to the appropriate signing profile.

To use the Signing Service component, drag it from the signingService palette to the Config > Services folder in the Nav tree.

You also find an example of a Signing Service pre-configured with an example signing profile and transport in the Typical configuration folder. There is also a plain unconfigured service in the Unconfigured components folder.

To access the properties, expand Config > Services and click SigningService
