ADSS Auto File Processor
(AFP) is flexible front-end application for the ADSS Enterprise Server. It provides
intelligent watched folder automatic monitoring of one or more Windows folders or
Unix directories to process batches of document in an unattended environment.
AFP delivers this by monitoring a set of input locations for documents. Any documents
found in a location are signed or verified as specified by operator defined policies.
The digital signature creation or verification requests are processed by making calls to the ADSS Enterprise Server. The resultant documents are then delivered
to an output folder, or if a problem is detected, an issues folder.
AFP represents one of the simplest ways to utilise the power of the ADSS Enterprise
Server within organisations as it requires no programmatic integration.
|
AFP can manage multiple watched folders profiles, each defines
a set of input, output and error folders and other parameters like which signing
profile to use
|
AFP signing profiles can use the full
power of ADSS Enterprise Server and thus sign using basic and long-term signatures
in various formats including: PDF, PDF/A, XML DSig, XAdES,
PKCS#7, CMS & CAdES.
|
Because AFP delegates the security operations
to ADSS Enterprise Server it means that AFP can request documents to be signed or
verified. In future archiving will also be offered on the ADSS Enterprise Server
and made available in AFP.
AFP has been designed for high throughput
and high availability and it can load balance requests across multiple ADSS Servers.
AFP allows watched folder profiles to include complex rules
such as defining sub-folders, filename filters, batch sizes and operational timers.
To ensure that only authorised requests are processed AFP authenticates
itself to ADSS Enterprise Server using a pre-defined caller ID. For stronger authentication
AFP can optionally sign requests or use SSL client authentication. ADSS Enterprise
Server retains a secure log of all request and response transactions and can provide
detailed reports from these.
ADSS Enterprise Server is modular product and only the modules
your business needs need to be licensed. This provides a flexible yet cost-effective
solution, with in built investment protection since other modules can be added later
to support future business needs. There are no transactional costs - a server can
be used to process any number of documents.
