The Indeed Certificate Manager system Axidian CertiFlow can be integrated into other Indeed products Axidian products – Indeed Axidian Access Manager and Indeed AM Axidian Access Enterprise Single Sign-On. Integration allows for combining the operations of smart card issue, certificate requesting and writing, as well as authenticator registration into a single process.
The smart cards issued in this way can be used both for authentication in domain and SSO applications and for digital signature or access to resources that require personal certificates. Integration between systems is possible at any stage, irrespective to what product has been deployed first.
The setup of integration of Indeed CM Axidian CertiFlow and Indeed Axidian Access Manager & Indeed AM Enterprise Single Sign-On comprises two stages:
- Installation and setup of the required software
- Configuration of integration parameters
The first stage requires installation of the following components:
- Indeed-Id Axidian Administration Tools (or Indeed-Id Axidian Admin Pack) to each Indeed CM CertiFlow server
- Indeed-Id Axidian Extended Security Provider for each Indeed EA Access server
- Indeed-Id Axidian SmartCard + PIN Provider for each Indeed EA Access server
| Tip |
|---|
Indeed-Id Axidian Administration Tools is a part of Indeed-Id Enterprise Authentication Axidian Access system installation package. |
It is also necessary to setup the Extended Security Provider:
- Create Indeed-ID Axidian Enrollment Admins security group as per Installation and operation manual for Indeed-Id Extended Axidian Extended Security Provider.
- Add service account (‘servicecm’) to Indeed-ID Axidian User Admins and Indeed-ID Axidian Enrollment Admins security groups.
The second stage requires setting of integration parameters in the smart card usage policy of Indeed Certificate ManagerAxidian CertiFlow. Open the Indeed EA & ESSO Axidian Access section in the selected policy configuration and define the parameters for Indeed EA & ESSO (Table 3)..

Table 3 – Integration parameters for Indeed EA & ESSOAxidian Access.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
Enable |
integration with Axidian Access | If enabled, there will be simultaneous issuance of smart card in the |
CertiFlow system and of authenticator "Smart card or USB token + PIN" in |
Axidian Access systems. |
| Use |
| Axidian Access proxy server | If enabled, |
Axidian CertiFlow will address |
Axidian Access proxy, which, in turn, redirects the request to |
Axidian Access servers. The proxy is mandatory, if the |
CertiFlow servers are beyond the domain of |
Axidian Access system. | |
| Proxy URL | The address of |
| Axidian Access Proxy Server. |
User name and Password | Credentials (username and domain password) of the user, which is a member of |
Axidian User Admins and |
Axidian Enrollment Admins security groups. |
Allow |
usage of Axidian Access Windows Logon | If enabled, then the user is allowed to use |
Axidian technology for authentication in domain using |
Axidian Access Windows Logon component after a smart card issuance in the |
CertiFlow system. |
| Allow |
| usage of Axidian Access Enterprise Single Sign-On | If enabled, then the user is allowed to use |
Axidian technology for authentication in applications using |
Axidian Access Enterprise SSO Agent component after a smart card issuance in the |
CertiFlow system. |
Generate |
Windows account random password | If enabled, a random domain password is generated when a smart card is issued in the |
CertiFlow system. In this case, when current password expires, a new random one is generated, known only to |
Axidian Access system. |
Permissions for Enterprise AuthenticationAxidian Access Windows Logon, Enterprise SSO Single Sign-On and random password generation are disabled, if the last registered user authenticator is removed.
| Info | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
For example, if a user had no authenticator in the Indeed EA Axidian Access system and no cards in the Indeed CM CertiFlow system, then after issuance of a smart card with defined integration parameters this user would Indeed Certificate Manager CertiFlow have one authenticator ("Smart card or USB token + PIN") in the Indeed EA Axidian Access system and one card (for instance, eToken) in the Indeed CM CertiFlow system. If the smart card is deleted from the Indeed CM CertiFlow system, the authenticator in the Indeed EA Axidian Access is deleted as well, and, since there is no other trained authenticator, the permissions for Enterprise Authentication, Indeed-Id Enterprise SSO Axidian Access Windows Logon, Enterprise Single Sign-On and random password generation are disabled (of course, if active at the moment of revocation). |
