Creating a new user credential for certificate installations

When automatically installing certificates onto devices, there are two technology options: agent or agentless. The agent method uses the Venafi Server Agent while the agentless method relies on the Venafi Trust Protection Platform either having the credentials to authenticate to the system, or access to the credentials on a password management system, like CyberArk
