Signum Agents

The Signum agents work by leveraging Microsoft's Key Storage Provider (KSP) interface in Windows and PKCS11 for Linux. The Windows Agent comes as an installable .msi and can be configured to operate with an interactive user interface or in a CLI server mode. The Linux agent is available as a .deb or .rpm package and operates with a CLI only. Once users/machines have successfully authenticated to Signum through the agents they will have access to certificates allowed by the roles and policies defined in Signum.

Agent Updates

Agent binaries are available from the Keyfactor Customer Portal at https://portal.az.keyfactorsaas.com/login . Consult the table below for information about managing versions of the Signum Agents and Server. The general guidance is that Server Versions can be greater than Agent version, but the reverse, Agent versions being greater than the Server Version, is not usually true unless the Major/Minor versions match. To reduce the number of Agent versions to manage, if there are no changes to the Agents, matching versions of the Agents may not always be released with each update.
