Exostar’s Managed Access Gateway (MAG)
Exostar’s Managed Access Gateway (MAG) is used to manage Rolls-Royce suppliers that require access to the eTools set of applications, and other Exostar products.
Federated Identity Service (FIS)
Federated Identity Service (FIS) provides digital certificates to R-R users for use cases such as accessing the R-R Global Supplier Portal, authenticating to a website, digitally signing a document, or encrypting an email. These digital certificates are often associated with the term PKI (Public Key Infrastructure). eTools requires a basic digital certificate that is renewed annually. Medium level certificates are also available through FIS and applicable for some business requirements when working with Rolls-Royce.
Global Supplier Portal (GSP)
Global Supplier Portal (GSP) is managed by Rolls-Royce, but is accessed through Exostar’s Managed Access Gateway (MAG) Platform. The Global Supplier Portal creates an interactive online location for Rolls-Royce and suppliers to conduct business transactions, post key information, answer questions, and resolve business issues.
ForumPass
ForumPass enables Rolls-Royce and its partner organizations to work together in a shared internet-based workspace. ForumPass is built on the Microsoft SharePoint Platform and is most commonly used for project and workflow collaboration.
Secure File Transfer (SFT)
Secure File Transfer is a secure, cloud-hosted application for sending and receiving digital packages securely. The application is powered by a patented third party transmission protocol technology that maximizes the throughput over a standard Internet connection.
Enterprise Access Gateway (EAG)
Enterprise Access Gateway (EAG) allows R-R employees to use their R-R network login credentials to access Exostar and other third party applications such as the Boeing Supplier Portal, instead of being issued login credentials from Exostar.
LDAP Proxy
LDAP Proxy is a directory look-up service provided by Exostar for R-R users who have been issued digital certificates by Exostar.
