In their own words
EJBCA
EJBCA is open-source PKI and Certificate Authority software for managing certificates, registration, enrollment, and validation. A single installation can host multiple independent PKIs separated through CA, RA, and VA modules. Certificate validation uses OCSP and CRL, and enrollment options listed for Community and Enterprise include CMP, SCEP, EST, ACME, SOAP API, and REST APIs. Community Edition can be deployed with Helm, as a container, or from source, with Helm and Ansible playbooks available for automating setup and configuration. Its stated use cases include internal PKIs, DevOps workflows, industrial environments, IoT devices, and national eIDs. Community is free under LGPL version 2.1 or later for learning, testing, and prototyping, but is not intended for production because it lacks production audit, compliance, SLA, high-availability, and security capabilities. Enterprise adds advanced PKI functionality and professional support with an SLA; a 30-day trial is available through AWS or Azure marketplaces.
