Introduction

The EJBCA Software Stack documentation provides guidance for deploying, configuring, and maintaining EJBCA in a traditional, full-stack environment.

This documentation includes installation instructions, configuration steps, and deployment type specific considerations for running EJBCA on a dedicated software stack.

About the Software Stack Deployment Type

The software stack deployment type refers to an installation where EJBCA is provided by Keyfactor as an application running in the top layer of a defined software stack.

The EJBCA application and required lower levels layers in the software stack are typically deployed directly on servers or virtual machines. Administrators manage and maintain the entire platform, including patching, updates, and infrastructure hardening.

Customer prerequisites in a software stack deployment include:

• Operating system

• Application server

• Database server

• Hardware Security Modules (HSMs)

• Networking, firewalls, and load balancers as required

This deployment type has a high level of complexity while giving the customer control but also responsibility of underlying OS, application server, security configurations, HSM, database and network infrastructure.
