When Enable CA Profile Sync parameter is set to true, CA Gateway synchronizes EJBCA profiles as explained below.

  1. CA Gateway queries EJBCA certificate authorities for End Entity Profiles and Certificate Profiles.
  2. CA Gateway combines each End Entity Profile with its corresponding Certificate Profiles. 

    Each generated profile is defined by a combination of an End Entity Profile identifier and a Certificate Profile identifier.

  3. CA Gateway checks its configuration for profiles where the End Entity Profile and Certificate Profile values match the identifiers of an EJBCA-generated profile.
    • If a profile exists, CA Gateway uses the EJBCA-generated profile to complete only the missing profile settings. As manually set values always take precedence. 
    • If the profile does not exist, CA Gateway uses the EJBCA-generated profile to create a new profile. 
  4. On certificate enrollment, requested properties also take precedence over EJBCA profile settings.
