1.3.2 SubEnrollServiceSoap Overview

  • Article

RMS servers use the SubEnrollServiceSoap port type of the RMS: Server-to-Server Protocol to bootstrap subordinate RMS servers.

As shown in Figure 1, an RMS server can be deployed as a subordinate to another RMS server. A root RMS server grants a subordinate RMS server the right to perform only licensing tasks by issuing a subordinate server licensor certificate (SLC) from its own. For a subordinate RMS server, this process replaces the standard RMS server bootstrapping process defined in [MS-RMPR] section 3.1.3.

The SubEnrollServiceSoap port type uses a SOAP-based protocol over HTTP. It exposes one request/response operation: SubEnroll.
