Use cases
Microsoft provides a Certificate Authority (CA) for Windows called Active Directory Certificate Services (ADCS). ADCS is common in Swedish companies. Fortified ID ADCS REST Extensions enables a more dynamic issuance of certificates from ADCS via API calls.
The APIs that ADCS offers are asynchronous and time-dependent, which means that services with real-time requirements (e.g. electronic signatures or activation of mobile apps) cannot consume these APIs.
