pki-tps - Certificate System - Token Processing Service

Description:

The Token Processing System (TPS) is an optional PKI subsystem that acts
as a Registration Authority (RA) for authenticating and processing
enrollment requests, PIN reset requests, and formatting requests from
the Enterprise Security Client (ESC).

TPS is designed to communicate with tokens that conform to
Global Platform's Open Platform Specification.

TPS communicates over SSL with various PKI backend subsystems (including
the Certificate Authority (CA), the Data Recovery Manager (DRM), and the
Token Key Service (TKS)) to fulfill the user's requests.

TPS also interacts with the token database, an LDAP server that stores
information about individual tokens.

The utility "tpsclient" is a test tool that interacts with TPS.  This
tool is useful to test TPS server configs without risking an actual
smart card.


==================================
||  ABOUT "CERTIFICATE SYSTEM"  ||
==================================

Certificate System (CS) is an enterprise software system designed
to manage enterprise Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) deployments.

PKI Core contains ALL top-level java-based Tomcat PKI components:

  * pki-symkey
  * pki-base
  * pki-tools
  * pki-server
  * pki-ca
  * pki-kra
  * pki-ocsp
  * pki-tks
  * pki-tps
  * pki-javadoc

which comprise the following corresponding PKI subsystems:

  * Certificate Authority (CA)
  * Data Recovery Manager (DRM)
  * Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) Manager
  * Token Key Service (TKS)
  * Token Processing Service (TPS)

For deployment purposes, PKI Core contains fundamental packages
required by BOTH native-based Apache AND java-based Tomcat
Certificate System instances consisting of the following components:

  * pki-tools

Additionally, PKI Core contains the following fundamental packages
required ONLY by ALL java-based Tomcat Certificate System instances:

  * pki-symkey
  * pki-base
  * pki-tools
  * pki-server

PKI Core also includes the following components:

  * pki-javadoc

Finally, if Certificate System is being deployed as an individual or
set of standalone rather than embedded server(s)/service(s), it is
strongly recommended (though not explicitly required) to include at
least one PKI Theme package:

  * dogtag-pki-theme (Dogtag Certificate System deployments)
    * dogtag-pki-server-theme
  * redhat-pki-server-theme (Red Hat Certificate System deployments)
    * redhat-pki-server-theme
  * customized pki theme (Customized Certificate System deployments)
    * <customized>-pki-server-theme

  NOTE:  As a convenience for standalone deployments, top-level meta
         packages may be provided which bind a particular theme to
         these certificate server packages.
