Dynamic authentication commands
DigiCert ONE Clients supports dynamic authentication, which enables secure API communication between your tool and the server-side Software Trust module.
Dynamic authentication supports user-based authentication. If your organization uses SSO to sign in to DigiCert ONE, dynamic authentication is ideal because it leverages the same browser-based login flow for authentication.
When user-based authentication is enabled, your tool can request access through DigiCert ONE Clients, which return a JSON access token for immediate use and a renewal token for ongoing transactions.
Review the following commands and flags available to use for dynamic authentication through SMCTL.
These commands and flags begin with:
