API for Standalone CA

nj0908 1

I have followed the below post to setup a Standalone CA,
https://msftwebcast.com/2019/11/setup-a-standalone-root-certificate-authority-server-2019.html

I wanted to build a service in java/springboot to interact with the CA to generate certificates.

Is there any API to interact with the Standalone CA or any libraries to connect to the CA in java.

The only available APIs are ActiveX-based (web-enabled COM interfaces) and IE is the only browser that supports them. Java does not support ActiveX.

Is there any other way to interact with the CA using Java ?

From web browser -- unlikely. Locally, as a Windows process, you can use CA COM interfaces:

CertCli -- CA client interfaces

CertAdm -- CA administration interfaces

CertView -- CA DB access interfaces
