System scans

System scans use DigiCert agents to provide a comprehensive cryptographic discovery solution for your host systems, including:

  • Server certificates

  • Device certificates

  • User and S/MIME certificates

  • Code signing certificates

Discovered assets get added to your DigiCert​​®​​ Trust Lifecycle Manager inventory. Server certificates are analyzed for security-related issues.

You control when each scan runs, which asset types it looks for, and where it looks for them:

  • Filesystems

  • Windows operating system certificate stores

  • Archive files

  • Keystores

System scans support selecting Windows (CAPI) locations and certificate stores for operating system certificate discovery. You can also configure key store credentials to discover certificates and keys in password-protected key stores.

To help organize and manage discovered assets, you can assign them to different business units and select certificate assignment rules.
