6.9. Connectors
Connectors define how the TPS communicates with other subsystems - namely CA, KRA, and TKS. In general, these parameters are set up during TPS installation. The following is an example of connector configuration:
tps.connector.ca1.enable=true tps.connector.ca1.host=host1.EXAMPLE.com tps.connector.ca1.maxHttpConns=15 tps.connector.ca1.minHttpConns=1 tps.connector.ca1.nickName=subsystemCert cert-pki-tomcat tps.connector.ca1.port=8443 tps.connector.ca1.timeout=30 tps.connector.ca1.uri.enrollment=/ca/ee/ca/profileSubmitSSLClient tps.connector.ca1.uri.getcert=/ca/ee/ca/displayBySerial tps.connector.ca1.uri.renewal=/ca/ee/ca/profileSubmitSSLClient tps.connector.ca1.uri.revoke=/ca/ee/subsystem/ca/doRevoke tps.connector.ca1.uri.unrevoke=/ca/ee/subsystem/ca/doUnrevoke tps.connector.kra1.enable=true tps.connector.kra1.host=host1.EXAMPLE.com tps.connector.kra1.maxHttpConns=15 tps.connector.kra1.minHttpConns=1 tps.connector.kra1.nickName=subsystemCert cert-pki-tomcat tps.connector.kra1.port=8443 tps.connector.kra1.timeout=30 tps.connector.kra1.uri.GenerateKeyPair=/kra/agent/kra/GenerateKeyPair tps.connector.kra1.uri.TokenKeyRecovery=/kra/agent/kra/TokenKeyRecovery tps.connector.tks1.enable=true tps.connector.tks1.generateHostChallenge=true tps.connector.tks1.host=host1.EXAMPLE.com tps.connector.tks1.keySet=defKeySet tps.connector.tks1.maxHttpConns=15 tps.connector.tks1.minHttpConns=1 tps.connector.tks1.nickName=subsystemCert cert-pki-tomcat tps.connector.tks1.port=8443 tps.connector.tks1.serverKeygen=true tps.connector.tks1.timeout=30 tps.connector.tks1.tksSharedSymKeyName=sharedSecret tps.connector.tks1.uri.computeRandomData=/tks/agent/tks/computeRandomData tps.connector.tks1.uri.computeSessionKey=/tks/agent/tks/computeSessionKey tps.connector.tks1.uri.createKeySetData=/tks/agent/tks/createKeySetData tps.connector.tks1.uri.encryptData=/tks/agent/tks/encryptData
TPS profiles refer to these connectors by their IDs. For example
op.enroll.userKey.keyGen.signing.ca.conn=ca1
Multiple connector of the same kind (for example, multiple CA connectors) can be defined. This may be useful when one TPS instance serves multiple backend Certificate System servers for different groups of tokens.
Note
Automatic failover for connectors in TPS is currently not supported. A manual failover procedure must be performed to point the TPS to alternate CA, KRA, or TKS, as long as they are clones of the original systems.
