Prerequisites
To enable system scans, you need a DigiCert agent with minimum required version 3.0.13 on each host system to scan.
DigiCert agents are lightweight client applications used to discover and automate management of cryptographic assets on standard hosts such as web servers.
Supported systems
The below operating systems support DigiCert agent-based system scanning.
Deploy DigiCert agents
If you already use DigiCert agents for web server certificate automation, you can use those same agents for system scans.
To add new systems for system scanning, first deploy DigiCert agents on them. See Deploy and manage agents for more details.
Notice
When used for certificate lifecycle automation, DigiCert agents automatically discover certificates in the web server applications they manage. System scans expand discovery to the entire file system and include more cryptographic asset types.
What’s next
Once you have DigiCert agents in place, you are ready to set up comprehensive cryptographic discovery scanning on your host systems.
Go to the Discovery & automation tools > Agents page in DigiCert® Trust Lifecycle Manager to see all your active agents and enable system scans for individual agents or multiple agents at once.
