About Monitoring (Trust Authority)
At this level of management, organizations can continuously monitor key and certificate assets for improved inventory and risk mitigation. Trust Protection Platform monitors existing certificates and provides current information on the certificate status and lifecycle. When the certificate nears the end of its lifecycle, Trust Protection Platform sends dynamically-generated expiration and escalation messages to certificate owners, consumers, and approvers.
At the monitoring level of certificate management, however, Trust Protection Platform does not renew the certificate. The administrator must manually create the CSR, send it to the certificate authority (CA), then retrieve and install the renewed certificate.
Once the certificate is manually installed, Trust Protection Platform can validate the certificate is installed and properly configured.
Monitoring is available for both network and local certificates. Monitoring is enabled in the Certificate object configuration. For more information, see Managing certificate configuration.
