Certificate lifecycle automation

Use DigiCert​​®​​ Trust Lifecycle Manager to automate certificate lifecycle management on web servers, network appliances, cloud services, and vaults. This helps to reduce TLS administration overhead, enhance security, and mitigate the risk of business disruptions due to human error.

All phases of the certificate lifecycle can be automated. Management actions include:

  • Enroll and install new certificates on unsecured IP/port targets.

  • Reissue and replace existing certificates when changes are needed.

  • Renew existing certificates before they expire.

  • Switch deployed certificates to a different certificate authority (CA).

  • Install duplicate certificates on redundant systems.

Notice

This section focuses on Trust Lifecycle Manager's managed automation solution, which allows you to manage certificate deployments directly from the Trust Lifecycle Manager web console. To use a third-party ACME client to manage certificates from the command-line interface (CLI) on web servers, refer to the Third-party ACME client integration guide.
