Importing certificates from a certificate authority

You can import certificates based on the issuing certificate authority (CA). After the import is configured, all certificates issued by a specified CA are identified and then placed into the folders that you specify.

TIP  Use a CA import to establish your initial inventory. Importing certificates can help you keep your inventory up-to-date because many of these certificates are enrolled outside of Trust Protection Platform.

Importing certificates lets you

  • use Trust Protection Platform to bring certificates issued by their CA under management, replacing processes that are currently manual and require multiple steps

  • keep track of certificates that Trust Protection Platform did not enroll

    These often include mobile, user, and client device certificates. This gives you visibility over your entire certificate population, not just server certificates.

  • automatically reconcile imported certificates with existing certificates to ensure that Trust Protection Platform is tracking current certificates
