Fox Signing Service (signingService-FoxSigningService)

The Fox Signing Transport is a signing transport that allows remote stations to utilize the Signing Service via their Fox Niagara network connection. A dedicated Fox Signing message channel provides a secure and trusted communication mechanism between the Signing Service and the remote requesting component for exchange of CSR and signed certificates.

Each signing transport is responsible for onboarding remote components into the service. The Fox Signing Transport requires the remote component to request a temporary session token, which must be approved by an admin user before the component can submit a CSR to the service. These tokens are stored and approved in the Session Token Store. Session tokens are not required for certificate renewal, only for initial Onboarding with the service.
