Venafi MMC Snap-In Collection

The Venafi MMC Snap-In Collection includes snap-ins that can be installed on a standalone Windows workstation, so you don't have to be logged on to the Trust Protection Platform server to use them. The following Snap-Ins are included:

  • Venafi Access Management

    Allows authorized users to manage API applications from a remote Windows device.

  • Venafi CodeSign Protect Administration

    Allows Code Signing Administrators to perform code signing administrative tasks without having to sign in to the Trust Protection Platform server.

  • Venafi Event Viewer

    Provides detailed views in Trust Protection Platform events from the event logs.

  • Venafi Statistics Viewer

    Provides extensive Trust Protection Platform statistics.

  • Venafi Recycle Bin

    Allows administrators to configure automatic pruning of outdated database information, and allows administrators to revert some deletions by users.

  • Message Bus

    Allows administrators to view the status of the message bus and identify and troubleshoot potential network connectivity issues across all servers in the cluster.

  • Tools

    Provides the ability to interact with additional tools for managing your system. Currently, the only tool that is included is Logging, but future tools will be added to this node.

    • Logging - Released in 24.3, the Logging node replaces the Logging tree in the now-deprecated WinAdmin console. The Logging node allows you to customize all logging and notification settings for your environment including modifying e-mail templates and SMTP notification settings.

DID YOU KNOW?  You can have snap-ins for multiple servers, allowing you to easily manage a complete cluster of Venafi servers, as well as servers in lower (development, test, etc.) environments.

Additionally, since identities cannot see identities from other identity providers (local admins cannot see identities managed by Active Directory, for example), you can add multiple instances of the same snap-in for the same Venafi server, but with different user credentials. This allows you to manage users from multiple identity providers, or even see the rights and permissions granted to users within the same identity provider, but with different roles.
