Communicating to Stand-alone Microsoft Certificate Authority

Manoj Pathak 21

I have a MS CA stand-alone set up and I would like to use services provided by this CA programmatically. Does stand-alone exposes any API's so that client could interact with it. I am looking for some API documentation for stand-alone MS CA.

Till now what I have found is this

Hi there,

The Certificate Management (CM) REST API is consumed by clients to complete both smart card and software-based certificate enrollment. Smart card management operations are also supported through this API.

Here are some links as well for the process

Hello, Thank you for the response. I went through the links. The QA thread ending in "not having any" solution but the MIM looks promising. I read a little bit about it more. I tried to find out that it can work on the top of MS CA Stand-alone but couldn't find anything. However, I found following link where it states that MIM works with CA but this document does not say anything about stand-alone.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-identity-manager/microsoft-identity-manager-2016-supported-platforms

Is there a way to find out that?
