Discover and inventory existing certificates

CertCentral Discovery uses sensors to scan your network and identify all internal and public-facing TLS certificates, regardless of the issuing certificate authority (CA). Running Discovery after migration gives you a complete view of certificates issued under your previous platform alongside any already issued in CertCentral.

Discovery helps you:

  • Locate certificates issued under your previous platform that require monitoring or renewal

  • Identify third-party CA certificates that may need to be replaced with DigiCert certificates before automation can be applied

  • Detect certificates approaching expiration across all environments

  • Build a complete certificate inventory for ongoing lifecycle managemen

Notice

If sensors or agents are already installed for automation, they can be reused for Discovery without a separate installation.

For instructions on setting up a sensor, configuring a scan, and reviewing results, see Discover unmanaged certificates in cloud environments and Replace a certificate from Discovery results.
