The EJBCA Client Toolbox enables a set of tools built as a stand-alone package, which can be put on any machine and run independently of EJBCA.

The Client Toolbox provides commands to function as a Web Service RA, to manage keys on PKCS#11 HSM, to perform EJBCA health checks, to enroll CVC EAC certificates, and to test CMP and SCEP protocols.

The Client Toolbox also includes a Web Service CLI tool to be used as a command line interface for the Web Service Interface, see Using the Web Services CLI in Web Service Interface.
