The Security section is used for setting up and maintaining digital certificates that are used for verification of connections with external parties and signing messages.
Warning
Note that server certificate related tasks that allow authentication of ActiveAccess server to external clients such as browsers and directory servers have been delegated to the ActiveAccess container. This is the application/web server which is used to run ActiveAccess server. Please consult with your application server documentation for setting up and installing SSL server certificates.
Security has the following sub menu options:
Issuer Certificate - for setting up and maintaining the issuers' signing certificates that are used to sign PARes messages.
AHS Certificate - for setting up and maintaining client certificates used for connections to the authentication history server.
CAAS Certificate - for setting up and maintaining CAAS certificates used for connections to the remote CAAS server.
SDK Certificate - for setting up and maintaining SDK signing certificates that are used to sign ACSSignedContent in ARes.
Directory Server Certificate - for setting up and maintaining client certificates used for connections to the Directory Server to send RReq.
OOB Certificate - for setting up and maintaining client certificates used for connections to the RESTful OOB adapters.
Risk Certificate - for setting up and maintaining client certificates used for connections to the RESTful RBA adapters.
Decoupled Authenticator Certificate - for setting up and maintaining client certificates used for connections to the RESTful Decoupled Authenticator adapters.
CA Certificate - for setting up and maintaining trusted certificates. ActiveAccess uses CA certificates to validate server certificates in outbound connections to external servers such as authentication history server.
Issuer Certificate¶
Security > Issuer Certificate
This section is used to setup and maintain issuers' signing certificates. Issuer certificates are used to sign PARes messages. The issuer certificates must be issued by the certificate authority designated by the 3-D Secure provider for this purpose.
The following fields and links are displayed:
Currently installed certificates list
Create Certificate Request for creating new certificate requests for issuers or groups
Install Certificate for installation of signed certificates
Delete Selected Certificates remove selected certificates.
The following fields and links are displayed for each issuer:
Owner, either a group or an issuer, and links to the Group Details page or the Issuer Details page
Owner Type - Shows whether the owner is a group or an issuer
Provider - 3-D Secure provider of the certificate. The certificate is only used for 3-D Secure transactions, which belong to the same provider. Provider link enables certificate to be downloaded for viewing.
Certificate Information - Certificate details such as Common Name (CN), Organization (O), Organization Unit (OU), Location (L), State (ST) and Country (C)
Validity - Shows the validity period of the certificate
Status - The status of a certificate can either be Valid, Expired or Not signed. You need to reapply for certificates before they expire. A certificate status is shown as not signed if the certificate is not signed by a trusted certificate authority.
Issuer - The certificate authority (CA) who issued the certificate
Signature Algorithm – The hash algorithm used to sign the certificate.
Create Certificate Request¶
Security > Issuer Certificate > Certificate Request
Use this section to create a certificate signing request (CSR) that can be sent to a designated certificate authority (CA) to obtain a signed certificate. The certificate used in signing PARes message must be signed by an appropriate CA which is designated by the scheme. You need a separately signed certificate for each supported scheme. The CSR is created in standard PKCS#10 format.
Use the following fields to create a CSR:
Each scheme may have certain requirements regarding the format and content of CSR fields that need to be entered here. Please contact the scheme for information regarding creating a CSR. Please note that some fields may not be required by a scheme and that the following explanations are generic.
Select whether the CSR is for an Issuer or an Issuer Group and select the organization from the list
Select an authentication Provider (scheme) from the list
If the RSA Signing key is inactive, the Alias list is displayed and you will be required to select an Alias. The RSA Signing key that is created with the PCIDSS Key Retiring Utility or through Issuers > Key Management will remain inactive until a certificate request is created and signed by card schemes, then installed for the specified Alias
The Key size will be displayed once a provider and a key type (and alias, if available) have been selected. The key size is based on the size of the RSA Signing Key of the provider for each issuer.
Select the Hash Algorithm to be used to create the certificate request from the list. Defaults to SHA1.
Common Name - a descriptive name for the certificate, for example 'Any Bank Signing Certificate'
Organization name - for example 'Any Bank'

Create Decoupled Authenticator Adapter Connector Certificate Request¶
Security > Decoupled Authenticator Certificate > Decoupled Authenticator Adapter Connector Certificate Request
Use this section to create a certificate signing request (CSR) that can be sent to a designated certificate authority (CA) to obtain a signed certificate. The certificate is used in connection to the authentication history server designated by the 3-D Secure provided and must be signed by a CA approved by the respective 3-D Secure provider. The CSR is created in standard PKCS#10 format.
Use the following fields to create a CSR:
Each scheme may have certain requirements regarding the format and content of CSR fields that need to be entered here. Please contact the scheme for information regarding creating a CSR. Please note that some fields may not be required by a scheme and that the following explanations are generic.
