What are the different certificate management types?

The content that you see in the TLS Protect menu items depends on several factors, including the permissions of the logged-in user, as well as the licensed Trust Protection Platform components. The following table shows which menu items are available, depending on the components of Trust Protection Platform that your organization has licensed.

• Unassigned. These certificates are neither enrolled or monitored by Trust Protection Platform.
• Monitoring. These certificates are continuously monitored for expiration and associated risks.
• Enrollment. At this level, Trust Protection Platform interfaces directly with Certificate Authorities (CAs) to initiate and auto-enroll new or to-be-renewed certificates and key generation requests according to organization-defined workflow and approved policies.
• Certificate Installation (Provisioning). These certificates are enrolled and automatically provisioned by Trust Protection Platform to web servers and appliances that use them.
