[edit] Local registration authority

A local registration authority (LRA) is an optional part of a public key infrastructure that maintains users' identities from which certification authorities can issue digital certificates. A Local Registration Authority (LRA) is the person authorized by their company and the Certificate Authority (FundSERV) to provide certificate lifecycle management. All companies who want to use IDentity services or features must have an LRA.
