Certificate Lifecycle Management
Discover and document certificates located on all endpoints (load balancers, firewalls, web servers, containers, and multi-cloud environments). Gain complete visibility into your certificate infrastructure and minimize the risk of outages
Certificate enrollment is initiated by a user request to the appropriate CA. This is a cooperative process between a user (or a user's PKI software, such as an e-mail or Web browser application) and the CA. The enrollment request contains the public key and enrollment information. Once a user requests a certificate, the CA verifies information based on its established policy rules, creates the certificate, posts the certificate, and then sends an identifying certificate to the user. During the certificate distribution, the CA sets policies that affect the use of the certificate.
A certificate issued by a CA includes an expiration date that defines how long the certificate is valid. If a certificate needs to be revoked before that date, the CA can be instructed to add the certificate to its CRL. Reasons a certificate might need to be revoked include the certificate being lost or compromised, or the person the certificate was issued to leaving the company.
When a certificate reaches its expiration date, it is renewed either automatically, or by user intervention.
When a certificate is no longer in use, the certificate and any backup copies or archived copies of the certificate should be destroyed, along with the private key associated with the certificate. This helps ensure that the certificate is not compromised and used.
