Venafi Configuration Console

The Venafi Configuration Console (VCC) provides an overview of your system, and allows you to control and configure many aspects of your Venafi Trust Protection Platform installation.

Using this console, you can manage configuration items from the following categories:

• Attention Required: View a consolidated summary of issues that require your attention.
• Database: View and edit the database connection information.
• Product: Enable, disable, remove, and add Venafi Platform components and edit licenses.
• Connectors: View, add, edit, and remove connectors, including encryption connectors, identity connectors, and credential connectors (e.g. CyberArk).
• System Roles: View and assign system roles to users and groups.
• Authentication: Create and manage third-party authentication methods (e.g. SAML).
• Recycle Bin: A utility that allows administrators to undo the deletion of the system's most critical objects. It includes the ability to automatically remove expired certificate data from secret store.
• Access Management: Configure and manage access to Venafi Platform by way of Venafi's public APIs.
• Code Signing: Create, edit, and delete templates and configuration options to be made available when code signing projects are requested. This node requires a Venafi CodeSign Protect license. See the CodeSign Protect administration steps for details.
• Events: View logs of Trust Protection Platform events and create custom views of events. See Venafi Event Viewer for details.
• Statistics: View detailed statistics of Trust Protection Platform activity and performance. See Venafi Statistics Viewer for details.
• Message Bus: A utility that provides near-instant notification to other servers in the cluster about significant changes to the database by way of an MQTT message broker.
• Tools: Access to tools, such as Logging, which allow you to manage your environment. The Logging tool controls all notifications and logging features of Venafi Platform including e-mail templates and e-mail notifications.

The configuration console is based on the Microsoft Management Console, providing a familiar interface for Windows administrators to accomplish system maintenance tasks.
