New
Self-service portal operations per profile and UI enhancements
From this release, authorized administrators can configure allowed self-service operations per certificate profile instead of being account-wide operations for all profiles with the self-service portal option enabled. Available operations:
From the open portal:
Revoke
: Allows users to request revocation of their certificates, which triggers an email challenge to prove ownership of the email address before confirming the revocation operation. Note: Enable this feature with caution, understanding the risk of being able to revoke someone else’s certificate if you have access to their email account.
From the authenticated portal, after users authenticate against your SAML identity provider:
Recover
: Recover certificates for profiles configured with the "Cloud Key Escrow" option.Renew
: Renew certificates issued from DigiCert that are bound to a certificate profile and within the renewal window configured in the profile.Revoke
: Revoke certificates and specify a revocation reason as part of the revocation operation.Suspend/Resume
: Suspend or resume private certificates only.
In addition, as part of the announced initiative in the previous release to improve the navigation and usability of the product, the Self-service portal
menu option has been moved under the Account > Settings page.
Enhancements
REST API support for "Microsoft CA User Certificate" template
You can now configure profiles from the Microsoft CA User Certificate
base template using the REST API
enrollment method and associated 3rd Party app
authentication method to issue user certificates from your Microsoft CA. You can also invoke certificate management operations such as revocation.
SCEP support for "CertCentral Public Server Certificate" template
The CertCentral Public Server Certificate
template has now been qualified to support the SCEP
enrollment method, allowing servers to enroll and renew public TLS server certificates using SCEP (Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol).

Adobe AATL certificates for individuals and organizations
Support for issuance of Adobe RSA or ECDSA certificates for individuals and organizations that chain up to root CAs recognized by the Adobe Approved Trust List (AATL) and used to digitally sign documents that are trusted by Adobe products (for example, PDF documents). The certificates get issued from your CertCentral account via a CertCentral CA connector configured in Trust Lifecycle Manager.
Adobe Individual in Organization (via CertCentral)
: Linked to User seats, this template enables end-users to digitally sign Adobe PDFs locally. Profiles created from this template will be automatically configured to use the DigiCert Trust Assistant enrollment method, which will enforce the use of a hardware token for the creation and storage of keys. Compliance with the DigiCert Master Services Agreement and Adobe’s requirements is the customer’s responsibility.Adobe Organization (via CertCentral)
: Linked to Organization seats, this template allows an organization to sign PDFs with a branded certificate. The private key must be securely hosted on a hardware security module (HSM) and used for all document signing.
The following table shows the new base templates used to create certificate profiles for issuing the two types of Adobe AATL certificates, along with the supported enrollment and authentication methods for each template, the corresponding certificate product that must be enabled in your CertCentral account, and the root/intermediate CAs for each CertCentral region.
Template | Seat type | Enrollment method | Authentication methods | CertCentral product type | Trust anchors |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DigiCert Trust Assistant |
| Document Signing for Business - Employee | CertCentral Europe Root CA: CertCentral USA Root CA: Intermediate CA: | |
| CSR |
| Document Signing for Business - Group | ||
REST API |
|
Wichtig
Both Adobe certificate templates are "limited" and must be explicitly assigned to your Trust Lifecycle Manager account. If you do not see the templates listed on the Policies > Base templates page, contact your DigiCert account representative or system administrator to assign them and inform you of your Adobe obligations. These obligations include verifying the identity of end-users using a face-to-face process, and keeping evidence of that process, before allowing them to enroll for an Adobe certificate. See Section 27 of DigiCert Certificate Terms of Use for more details.
To issue Adobe certificates, your CertCentral account must be enabled with the corresponding product type (as shown in the above table) and certificate units.

iOS enrollment method for web authentication
New iOS
enrollment method to support a web-based solution for direct provisioning of certificates to Apple iOS/iPadOS devices without the need to deploy a full-scale MDM/UEM solution.
For the initial release, administrators can specify the Web Authentication use case, which triggers the installation of a digitally signed .mobileConfig file on the target Apple device. Subsequent releases will support additional use cases including VPN, WiFi, and ActiveSync.
For more information, see Configure iOS/iPadOS enrollment via SCEP.
ServiceNow CMDB integration
New integration supports pushing and synchronizing certificates to the ServiceNow configuration management database (CMDB) via two different methods that can be enabled by account administrators:
Copy certificates to the CMDB table when requested and approved through the ServiceNow app.
Copy certificates from the Trust Lifecycle Manager inventory to the ServiceNow CMDB table.
The CMDB integration features require minimum version 1.3.0 of the ServiceNow app for Trust Lifecycle Manager.
For more information, see the ServiceNow integration guide.
Self-service portal (SAML-authenticated)
The self-service portal now allows users to perform lifecycle management actions on certificates they own after authenticating against their SAML identity provider (IdP). Authentication relies on a unique email address being sent by the SAML IdP to DigiCert’s SAML service provider and used to search for certificates that contain that email address in the SDN:email
or SAN:rfc822Name
fields.
Account administrators can configure the lifecycle actions that end users are allowed to perform on their certificates. Depending on the type of certificate, available actions may include:
Revoke
Suspend/Resume
Recover
To be visible, certificates must be issued from a profile with the self-service portal option enabled and one of the following enrollment methods:
Browser PKCS12
CMP
CSR
DigiCert Trust Assistant
EST
Microsoft Autoenrollment
REST API
SCEP
In addition, authenticated users can enroll their own certificates and pick up an approved certificate from the self-service portal for web-based profiles that have the self-service portal feature enabled and one of the following authentication methods:
Enrollment code
Manual approval
SAML IdP
Authorized administrators with the SSP manager
role can configure the self-service portal from the Trust Lifecycle Manager Settings menu, where they can enable/disable either the open or authenticated self-service portal, manage the allowed actions for the authenticated portal, and get the portal URLs and QR codes to share with end users.
Anmerkung
A future release will include a "Renewal" action and the ability to manage Discovery/Imported certificates from the self-service portal.
API endpoint for profile creation
New POST profile
REST API endpoint allows for creation of certificate profiles from the "Generic" base templates and configured for the REST API
enrollment method and 3rd Party app
authentication method.

Trust Lifecycle Manager integrates with cert-manager over ACME to issue private certificates from DigiCert® CA Manager for automated service mesh configuration via Istio.
To support this integration, administrators can create a certificate profile from the new CA Manager Private mTLS Certificate
base template. A sample configuration file and instructions for enabling the integration are available from the Integrations > Connectors > Add connector page under the Infrastructure automation category.
For more information, see the Istio connector guide.
Policy notifications for discovered certificates
As part of this release, we introduced the ability for administrators to define notification policies for discovered certificates. Any newly discovered certificates matching the user-defined criteria will trigger a notification. To select certificates to notify about, administrators can apply boolean operators against a list of options including the:
Subject DN
Common name/SAN
CA vendor
Security rating
Signature algorithm (e.g SHA256WITHRSA)
Key size
Cipher
Tags
Issuing CA
Administrators can clone
the default discovery notification template to define specific criteria, recipients, and email content. They also have an option to combine multiple events in one email. This allows users to configure multiple polices to identify exceptions. The above criteria are also extended to existing expiry notices for discovered certificates from the following notification templates:
Discovered certificate
(New)Discovered certificate expiring
Discovered certificate expired
Enhancements
Duplicate certificates option for Public S/MIME Secure Email (via CertCentral) template

base template now allow configuration of the “Allow duplicate certificates” option. Previously, the option was set to “Yes” and could not be disabled.
IAN extension for web-based enrollment flows
From this release, we extend support for the Issuer Alternative Name (IAN) extension to the following web-based enrollment flows:
Browser PKCS12
CSR
DigiCert Trust Assistant
Anmerkung
The IAN extension is only supported by the Generic User Certificate
base template. Previously, it was only enabled when using the REST API
enrollment method with 3rd Party app
authentication.
Self-service portal enhancements
Added the ability to enable or disable the self-service portal (SSP) option from the main Profiles table, instead of having to edit each profile individually.
Added the ability to view/copy the self-service portal URL from the profile details page (Advanced settings > Self-service portal section) when the feature is enabled.
Added more detailed instructions to the self-service portal page to help end users search for and download their certificates.
SAML service provider enhancements
From this release, we support the following SAML service provider (SP) enhancements for profiles configured with the SAML IdP
authentication method and the new SAML-authenticated self-service portal.
Signing options
Two new SAML service provider signing options are displayed for profiles configured with the SAML IdP
authentication method:
Sign SAML assertion
Sign SAML response
The default configuration has both options checked, but they can be unchecked. However, not every SAML IdP vendor supports receiving unsigned SAML assertions and responses from service providers. If in doubt, check with your SAML IdP vendor before configuring these options.
Generate new SAML Service Provider certificate
A new Generate new SAML SP certificate button is displayed on the profile details SAML configuration options section. This button can be used at any time to generate a new DigiCert SAML service provider (SP) certificate and view its expiration period. When selected, a warning message prompts the user for confirmation before revoking the current SP certificate and issuing a new one.
For profiles configured with the SAML IdP
authentication methods, the profile will go into Action needed
state when the SAML SP certificate expires. To restore the profile to active status, use the new Generate new SAML SP certificate function to get a new certificate.
Warnung
After generating a new SAML SP certificate, the profile will stop authenticating requests against your SAML identity provider (IdP) until you reconfigure your IdP settings with the new SAML SP certificate. It will also stop working if the SAML SP certificate expires without your due attention.
Custom certificate report enhancements
Enhanced the custom certificate CSV reports with three new fields, under two of the sections:
Other extensions
Security Identifier
Issuer Alternative Name
(containing a directory name value)
Subject Alternative Name (SAN) extension
Directory name
Profile wizard - custom extensions
Enhanced the Custom extensions section in the profile wizard (used by the "Generic" templates) to deliver a better user experience and only show the details of the custom extension section if a user selects the new Add custom extensions button.

EST authentication
New EST authentication options available for all three "Generic" certificate templates (Generic Device
, Generic Private Server
, and Generic User
):
Global enrollment code
Extended the enrollment code authentication method to optionally allow the configuration of a global enrollment code that can be used to authenticate all incoming EST client requests.
Certificate-based authentication
Added support for certificate-based client authentication via a new authentication method called TLS Certificate Auth
. This option requires that you first upload the certificates of CAs trusted to issue client authentication certificates, via the Account > Root CAs page. To authenticate, EST clients must present a certificate signed by one of these trusted CAs.
For more information, see Configure and test EST.
DigiCert Trust Assistant release v1.1.5
New DigiCert Trust Assistant release with the following updates.
Client enhancements:
Import/Export of PKCS#12 / PKCS#7 / GLCK certificate with CA(s) on Windows CAPI will import CA chain certificates to respective trusted root and intermediate CA stores in CAPI with various configurable options (Windows only).
Functionality to rerun the post-processing scripts associated with a certificate/profile in case the scripts fail to execute at the time of certificate enrollment/renewal.
Added new system-level notifications (via a notification message within the client) to inform users about failed post-processing scripts, with enhanced error messaging about the script failures in the DigiCert Trust Assistant user interface and logs.
Enhanced software auto update flow to reduce the number of alerts in case of network communication failures.
Outlook post-processing script — multiple accounts:
Enhanced the Outlook system post-processing script to support Outlook instances with more than one configured email account, based on email matching from the certificate SubjectDN:email and/or SAN rfc822Name fields.
Mixed key types for CA and end-entity certificates:
DigiCert Trust Assistant can now handle certificate issuance/renewal flows with the below CA/end-entity key type combinations, for DigiCert Trust Assistant profiles configured with an:
RSA CA and end-entity certificates with key types of RSA, RSAPSS or ECDSA.
ECDSA CA and end-entity certificates with key types of RSA or ECDSA.
Non-supported browsers:
If a DigiCert Trust Assistant-based enrollment or renewal is attempted on a browser that is not officially supported by DigiCert, a warning message will be shown on the enrollment/renewal page. The flow will not be blocked, just a warning message.
Certificate delivery format:
When configuring a DigiCert Trust Assistant non-escrow profile from any of the Public S/MIME templates, the default certificate delivery format will now be PKCS#7.
For profiles configured with delivery of the certificate with the CA chain, DigiCert Trust Assistant will automatically install the root/intermediate CA certificates into the respective Windows stores in CAPI.
Fixes
Public S/MIME profile creation
Resolved issue with not being able to create certificate profiles from the Public S/MIME templates.

Refactored sensor-to-Trust Lifecycle Manager communication from SOAP to REST.
Stability fixes.
Enhancements
Enhanced automation actions
Optimized certificate lifecycle workflow actions on the Inventory page:
Switch
action allows switching a deployed certificate to any supported CA (previously "Switch to DigiCert").Request a certificate
action allows users to issue a new certificate from the same CA.Renew/Reissue
actions remain unchanged for CAs that support them.
Streamlined SAML web enrollment flow
Streamlined the SAML-based web enrollment flows to bypass the “Create enrollment” step if no user input is required and the “Cloud Key Escrow” option is disabled in the profile. This streamlined SAML enrollment flow only presents a single page ("Install certificate").
If the “Cloud Key Escrow” option is enabled in the profile (e.g. for S/MIME use-cases) we will continue to show an intermediate page with a warning to the user alerting about the private key being escrowed in the cloud, hence not bypassing this page. We renamed this page from "Create enrollment" to "Enrollment request" and the button from "Create" to "Submit".
"Enrollment status change" email template for enrollment code flows
Profiles configured with the Enrollment code
authentication method now have access to an additional email template that can be enabled in the Email configuration and notifications section of the profile to notify end users when their enrollment status changes from "created" to "rejected", "expired", or "redeemed". We renamed this notification type from "Enrollment status is either rejected or expired" to Enrollment status change (rejected, expired, redeemed).
Fixes
Inventory page issue due to deleted profiles
Resolved issue with the Inventory page not loading properly when encountering certificate profiles that had been deleted.
Certificate delivery format for Public S/MIME (via CertCentral) API requests
Resolved issue with incorrect certificate delivery format for profiles configured from the Public S/MIME Secure Email (via CertCentral)
template using the "REST API" enrollment method and with the “Cloud Key Escrow” option disabled (i.e. non-escrow).
SCEP URL with additional "/" character
Resolved issue with the SCEP service no longer accepting SCEP requests containing a “/
” character at the end of the "pkiclient.exe" resource inside the URL (e.g. "https://one.digicert.com/mpki/api/v1/scep/<profile-guid>/cgi-bin/pkiclient.exe/
?operation=GetCACert").
Sensor list not being sent to agent
Resolved issue with sensor list not getting updated to agents when a sensor is added or removed. This fix ensures that proxied agents have the latest sensor list available for failover scenarios.
Unable to change "start now" scan to scheduled
Resolved issue with being unable to edit a "start now" network scan to use the "schedule for later" option instead.

DigiCert® ONE version: 1.5658.0 | Trust Lifecycle Manager: 1.1784.0
New
Microsoft CA support for issuance of user certificates via web-based flows
Added support for issuance of user certificates using a Microsoft CA as the issuer with Microsoft certificate templates, which are selected when creating a profile from the new Microsoft CA User Certificate template and will prepopulate most of the profile wizard settings based on the Microsoft template configuration. Customers will still be able to control the SubjectDN and SAN fields to be used when signing the certificate, which will be added to the CSR that is sent to Microsoft CA for signing via the DigiCert MSCA Connector.
Prerequisites: Similar to the already available Microsoft CA support for private certificates, this solution also requires the configuration of a sensor and a Microsoft CA Connector, available under the Integrations menu option.
The Microsoft CA User Certificate template supports the below user enrollment/authentication methods (flows):
Enrollment method | Authentication method |
---|---|
|
|
Also added support for these certificate lifecycle operations using a Microsoft CA as the signer/issuer:
revocation, where the Microsoft CA solution will be responsible for providing any certificate validation services (CRL / OCSP).
renewal, where the appropriate renewal flow will be enforced based on the profile configuration using the renewal thresholds set within the Microsoft template and intersecting with the allowed renewal window values set within the profile wizard.
For more details, see instructions.

Fixes
Missing email templates
Resolved issue with some email templates not being displayed for profiles configured with the SAML IdP authentication method with the Enforce manual approval checkbox enabled.
Incorrect certificate status when suspending imported seat
Resolved issue when uploading certificates from an external system bound to an imported seat type. After suspending the certificate via the UI, the certificate status in Trust Lifecycle Manager was correct (showing a status of Suspended), but the revocation request to CA Manager was not submitted, causing the status to be shown as Valid and validation services not reflecting the correct status.
March 23, 2023
DigiCert® version: 1.4803.6 | Trust Lifecycle Manager: 1.1380.0
Enhancements
Enrollment code enhancements
Added new actions available from the enrollments page, for enrollments linked to a profile configured with an enrollment code authentication method. This allows an authorized administrator to:
Unlock a locked enrollment code via the UI after the maximum number of attempts has been reached.
Reactivate an expired enrollment code.
View an enrollment code and URL for enrollments associated with private CAs. This action is hidden for enrollments associated with public CAs.
Also added a configuration option for profiles configured with the enrollment code authentication method, to set the maximum number of incorrect enrollment code authentication attempts before locking.
Auto-copy a SAN:dnsName field with the SubjectDN:commonName value
For profiles configured from the “Generic Private Server” template, added an Auto-copy from SAN: dnsName
checkbox for the Subject DN - Common Nam
e field. This automatically copies the value into the dnsName field, regardless of whether this field is configured in the profile or not.
If a profile is configured with a dnsName field and a certificate request already contains one or multiple dnsName values, the Common Name value will appear automatically at the top of the list.
March 15, 2023
DigiCert® version: 1.4803.2 | Trust Lifecycle Manager: 1.1356.0

Certificate expiration email template
Customers with unmanaged or imported seat licenses can configure a certificate expiration email to be sent before the uploaded certificate expires. This configuration page is now available under the Settings - Uploaded certificates
expiration menu, and will be visible only when an account has been allocated with Unmanaged and/or Imported seats/licenses.
Additional option for ACME enrollment
For third-party ACME client-based flows, we added a new parameter option for the client to explicitly ask Trust Lifecycle Manager to issue a new certificate from CertCentral irrespective of the status of the previous certificate. This allows users to enforce a re-enrollment in addition to the already available options to renew, reissue, or get a duplicate certificate.
Sample ACME URL: https://one.digicert.com/mpki/api/v1/acme/v2/directory?action=enroll
Fixes
Renewal reminder timeout for unmanaged/imported seats
Resolved an issue with renewal emails not being sent to end users. We have introduced a 30-second timeout period for the hourly job that takes care of sending renewal email reminders, when not receiving a response from the SMTP server responsible for sending the email.
Anmerkung
We will not make a second attempt to send the same failed email at the next hourly run. Failed emails could pile up and there would be no room left for new emails to be sent. However, emails will be sent every [90, 60, 30, 15, 10, 7, 5, 3, 2, 1] days depending on profile configuration. Therefore, if an email fails to be sent at 90 days before expiration, the next attempt will be made at 60 days, etc.
Lowercase country values for unmanaged and imported seats
Resolved issue with not being able to upload unmanaged and imported certificates using a two-digit Subject DN country value in lowercase. We now support the upload of country values as case-insensitive values.

Subject Alternative Name (SAN) Directory Name extension, supported by the
Generic User Certificate
template.Certificate Policies extension, supported by all the standard templates, with the exception of the Public S/MIME (via PKI Platform 8) and CertCentral templates. You can configure a Certificate Policy extension with just a private OID, or include User Notice and/or CPS URL fields.
Issuer Alternative Name extension, supported by the
Generic User Certificate
template, when configuring a profile with the REST API enrollment method and 3rd party app authentication method.
New manual-enrollment REST API
For profiles configured with the “Manual approval” authentication method, you can use the new manual-enrollment
API endpoint to submit a certificate request via API and drop it into the queues for authorized administrators to review and manually approve it or reject it.
Once a request has been manually approved, the user will receive an email with instructions on how to download the certificate via the currently supported web-based enrollment methods: CSR, Browser PKCS12, and DigiCert Trust Assistant.
Tipp
Use the existing enrollment-details
API endpoint to retrieve the status of a specific enrollment by submitting the enrollment Id.
SAML single logout
Enables a profile, with the SAML IdP

New
Application rebranding
Updated all references to Enterprise PKI Manager to reflect the product’s new name: Trust Lifecycle Manager.
Rebranded the Enterprise PKI Manager application to Trust Lifecycle Manager. Assets that have been rebranded include:
Product/administration portals
DigiCert documentation and API websites
Email templates
Knowledgebase articles
Additionally, the “EPKI” certificate view has been removed from the default system views. Customers can make use of the “All Certificate” system view to filter the same certificate data and create their own custom views.
Issuance of Public S/MIME certificates via DigiCert PKI Platform 8
The new Public S/MIME Secure Email (via PKI Platform 8) certificate profile template leverages DigiCert PKI Platform 8 to issue public S/MIME RSA email signing and encryption certificates linked to a user seat.
Certificate requests can be enrolled and authenticated by these methods:
Enrollment method | Authentication method |
---|---|
|
|
|
|
To learn more about this feature, see Public S/MIME Secure Email (via PKI Platform 8) template.
Anmerkung
Existing PKI Platform 8 customers can simply share the API key with their DigiCert ONE Trust Lifecycle Manager account, where a new profile will be created to issue the Public S/MIME certificates. A matching profile will be automatically created within the PKI Platform 8 account.
Certificate lifecycle operations for Public S/MIME certificates issued via a DigiCert ONE Trust Lifecycle Manager account must be carried out within that account.
Managed automation - sensor DV
Issue DV certificates on sensor connections managed using certificate lifecycle automation. Create DNS integrations that allow sensors to fulfill DCV challenges to issue DV certificates to appliances and cloud providers.
Bulk actions on certificate lifecycle
In case of compromise or account consolidation, select more than one certificate to renew or reissue certificates in bulk.
Admin can select more than one certificate from Certificate section and trigger automation.
Admin can use APIs to bulk reissue certificates.
CertCentral Connector
With this release we are introducing the TLM connectors framework. This framework will help drive integrations in the future.
A new CertCentral connector is being added to:
Issue private and public certificates. (Existing functionality will now use the connector instead of the CertCentral linking page.)
Discover certificates. We can now pull certificate data from linked CertCentral account into TLM.
Users can define what data should be imported (valid certificates, certificates expired in last x days, revoked certificates).
This data can be assigned to a BU at import and also tagged with user defined labels. these labels will be available for search in the certificate views in a future release.
With introduction of connectors the “Link to CertCentral” feature is rolled into the CertCentral Connector.
Anmerkung
The “Link to CertCentral” page is no longer available.
Domain control validation for OV/EV using ACME
Customers can now perform domain control validation (DCV) for pre-validated OV/EV organization Public TLS certificates from CertCentral using ACME.
With this release, clients can demonstrate domain control using either DNS (ACME DNS.01) or HTTP (ACME HTTP.01) methods for their OV/EV requests. This option is only available when other organization and extended validations are already completed.
Enhancements
ACME - Skip validation for prevalidated domains
TLM ACME server is no longer creating challenge requests for prevalidated domains during ACME flows.
This will simplify client-side workflows where a dummy validation needs to be hosted by the client. This in turn means that:
Cert-manager: client can bypass challenge creation and validation step.
Certbot: hosting of dummy challenge on port 80 (with requirement that port 80 not be used by any other service) is no longer needed.
CA Manager - Private certificate automation on appliances
Most appliances such as F5 and Citrix ADC require that an organization be specified when creating a CSR during automation. CA Manager - Private Server has been enhanced to accept an organization that can be used for such automation workflows.
Patch
Automation certificate profiles
Fixed an issue with the creation of automation certificate profiles.
