Obtain a client authentication certificate
You can use a client authentication certificate, referred to as a Registration Authority (RA) certificate, to authenticate Autoenrollment Server requests to DigiCert ONE. Use this method instead of an API token if you will integrate with Windows Hello for Business.
Your RA certificate can be stored on a Hardware Security Module (HSM) or in a software key store in PFX format. The RA certificate storage option you choose determines how the RA certificate must be enrolled.
참고
DigiCert recommends the use of a Hardware Security Module to ensure the security of the RA certificate and its corresponding private key. Anyone who has access to the RA certificate and private key can act on your organization's behalf, so the secure storage of your certificate and key is important.
