Manage ACME-based certificates

Use the below methods to manage certificates that were issued through a third-party ACME client:

  • In the DigiCert​​®​​ Trust Lifecycle Manager web console, use the actions available from your Inventory page to manage all your existing certificates in one place. See the list of available management actions below.

  • On your servers, use the same third-party ACME clients that you used to request and install certificates from Trust Lifecycle Manager to manage the lifecycles of those certificates on an ongoing basis. You can renew, reissue, and duplicate your existing certificates this way.

Notice

This section focuses on managing ACME-based certificates from the Trust Lifecycle Manager web console. To learn about managing certificate lifecycles directly on your servers, see Initiate certificate lifecycle automation events.
