Access to CRL and OCSP services via the URLs inside the CRL Distribution Point (CDP) and Authority Information Access (AIA) extensions
CA chain validation (including the Root CA)
Fixes
Certificate Policy validation for eIDAS templates
Resolved the Certificate Policy OID validation issue with the five eIDAS templates.
Importante
Customers using these templates must mark the CAs created or uploaded onto the DigiCert® CA Manager application as “Qualified.” Otherwise, the Issuing CAs will not be shown when creating a profile from the eIDAS templates.
To mark the CAs as "Qualified, in the Create ICA flow, use the “Get a CSR from DigiCert ONE and sign with your own CA” option, and then select the “Qualified” option.
Renewal options in the revocation email template
Removed the list of renewal checkboxes within the revocation email template configured within a profile.
Unwanted certificate fields in the public-facing pages
Removed the internal profile fields appearing on public-facing pages (for example, we removed the key usage field).
Latest sensor not working when set up as a proxy
In the latest sensor release, v3.8.63, we fixed the bug in sensor version v3.8.62, restricting agents from using the sensor as a proxy.
Deleting the Azure Key vault connector marks the CC connector as "Action needed"

New
Nota
Removed the DigiCert Desktop Client
enrollment method from the Generic User Certificate
template, which is no longer supported. If you are making use of the DigiCert Desktop Client in a profile, use the DigiCert Trust Assistant
client instead by cloning your profile and selecting it as the new enrollment method. For new profiles, simply select the DigiCert Trust Assistant enrollment method. See the online documentation for details of its functionality.
FQDN and IP addresses allowed list for server requests
New feature that allows authorized profile administrators to configure a list of FQDN and IP addresses that are allowed to be included within private server certificate requests and checked against a profile-based ‘allowed list’ before issuance. Certificate request fields that will be checked are:
SAN:dnsName
SAN:ipAddress
The list of FQDNs/IPs within the profile can be modified at any time.
Supported template for this feature: Generic Private Server Certificate
.
Custom extensions
New powerful feature that allows authorized administrators to configure private certificates with custom extensions, defined as a JSON structure inside the Advanced profile wizard step for the three ‘generic’ certificate templates:
Generic Device Certificate
Generic Private Server Certificate
Generic User Certificate
Values for the private custom extension can be sourced from all the standard application sources based on the profile’s enrollment method, with the exception of “Microsoft Autoenrollment”, which will be supported in a future release.
For details see: Issue private certificates with custom extensions
Workflow customization for agent-based automation

The new templates (linked to User Seat type for Natural persons, and Organization Seat types for Legal Persons/eSeals) will also make use of an OCSP service that is ETSI compliant.
eIDAS Electronic Signature Certificate (Natural Person): It allows Qualified Trust Service Providers, who are audited and compliant with eIDAS, to issue EU Qualified Certificates to natural persons (QCP-n). This certificate will result in an Advanced Electronic Signature under eIDAS [SD1] (EU Regulation No 910/2014).
eIDAS Electronic Signature Certificate (Natural Person with QSCD): It allows Qualified Trust Service Providers, who are audited and compliant with eIDAS, to issue EU Qualified Certificates to natural persons where the private key and the related certificate reside on a QSCD (QCP-n-qscd). This certificate will result in a Qualified Electronic Signature under eIDAS (EU Regulation No 910/2014).
eIDAS Electronic Seal Certificate (Legal Person): It allows Qualified Trust Service Providers, who are audited and compliant with eIDAS, to issue EU Qualified Certificates to legal persons (QCP-l). This certificate will result in an Advanced Electronic Seal under eIDAS (EU Regulation No 910/2014.
eIDAS Electronic Seal Certificate (Legal Person with QSCD): It allows Qualified Trust Service Providers, who are audited and compliant with eIDAS, to issue EU Qualified Certificates to legal persons where the private key and the related certificate reside on a QSCD (QCP-n-qscd). This certificate will result in a Qualified Electronic Seal under eIDAS (EU Regulation No 910/2014).
eIDAS Electronic Seal Certificate (Legal Person with PSD2): It allows Qualified Trust Service Providers, who are audited and compliant with eIDAS, to issue EU Qualified Certificates to a Payment Service Provider (PSP) organisation and used to apply Qualified Electronic Seals (QSeal) that meet the requirements of the Payment Services Directive 2 (PSD2).
Aviso

New
Microsoft CA support for issuance of user certificates via web-based flows
Added support for issuance of user certificates using a Microsoft CA as the issuer with Microsoft certificate templates, which are selected when creating a profile from the new Microsoft CA User Certificate template and will prepopulate most of the profile wizard settings based on the Microsoft template configuration. Customers will still be able to control the SubjectDN and SAN fields to be used when signing the certificate, which will be added to the CSR that is sent to Microsoft CA for signing via the DigiCert MSCA Connector.
Prerequisites: Similar to the already available Microsoft CA support for private certificates, this solution also requires the configuration of a sensor and a Microsoft CA Connector, available under the Integrations menu option.

Missing email templates
Resolved issue with some email templates not being displayed for profiles configured with the SAML IdP authentication method with the Enforce manual approval checkbox enabled.
Incorrect certificate status when suspending imported seat
Resolved issue when uploading certificates from an external system bound to an imported seat type. After suspending the certificate via the UI, the certificate status in Trust Lifecycle Manager was correct (showing a status of Suspended), but the revocation request to CA Manager was not submitted, causing the status to be shown as Valid and validation services not reflecting the correct status.

DigiCert® version: 1.4803.6 | Trust Lifecycle Manager: 1.1380.0
Enhancements
Enrollment code enhancements
Added new actions available from the enrollments page, for enrollments linked to a profile configured with an enrollment code authentication method. This allows an authorized administrator to:
Unlock a locked enrollment code via the UI after the maximum number of attempts has been reached.
Reactivate an expired enrollment code.
View an enrollment code and URL for enrollments associated with private CAs. This action is hidden for enrollments associated with public CAs.
Also added a configuration option for profiles configured with the enrollment code authentication method, to set the maximum number of incorrect enrollment code authentication attempts before locking.
Auto-copy a SAN:dnsName field with the SubjectDN:commonName value
For profiles configured from the “Generic Private Server” template, added an Auto-copy from SAN: dnsName
checkbox for the Subject DN - Common Nam
e field. This automatically copies the value into the dnsName field, regardless of whether this field is configured in the profile or not.
If a profile is configured with a dnsName field and a certificate request already contains one or multiple dnsName values, the Common Name value will appear automatically at the top of the list.

DigiCert® version: 1.4803.2 | Trust Lifecycle Manager: 1.1356.0
Enhancements
Certificate expiration email template
Customers with unmanaged or imported seat licenses can configure a certificate expiration email to be sent before the uploaded certificate expires. This configuration page is now available under the Settings - Uploaded certificates
expiration menu, and will be visible only when an account has been allocated with Unmanaged and/or Imported seats/licenses.
Additional option for ACME enrollment
For third-party ACME client-based flows, we added a new parameter option for the client to explicitly ask Trust Lifecycle Manager to issue a new certificate from CertCentral irrespective of the status of the previous certificate. This allows users to enforce a re-enrollment in addition to the already available options to renew, reissue, or get a duplicate certificate.
Sample ACME URL: https://one.digicert.com/mpki/api/v1/acme/v2/directory?action=enroll
Fixes
Renewal reminder timeout for unmanaged/imported seats
Resolved an issue with renewal emails not being sent to end users. We have introduced a 30-second timeout period for the hourly job that takes care of sending renewal email reminders, when not receiving a response from the SMTP server responsible for sending the email.
Nota
We will not make a second attempt to send the same failed email at the next hourly run. Failed emails could pile up and there would be no room left for new emails to be sent. However, emails will be sent every [90, 60, 30, 15, 10, 7, 5, 3, 2, 1] days depending on profile configuration. Therefore, if an email fails to be sent at 90 days before expiration, the next attempt will be made at 60 days, etc.
Lowercase country values for unmanaged and imported seats
Resolved issue with not being able to upload unmanaged and imported certificates using a two-digit Subject DN country value in lowercase. We now support the upload of country values as case-insensitive values.

DigiCert® version: 1.4803.0 | Trust Lifecycle Manager: 1.1349.0
New
New extensions
Support for three new X.509 certificate extensions, which users can configure in the profile wizard:
Subject Alternative Name (SAN) Directory Name extension, supported by the
Generic User Certificate
template.Certificate Policies extension, supported by all the standard templates, with the exception of the Public S/MIME (via PKI Platform 8) and CertCentral templates. You can configure a Certificate Policy extension with just a private OID, or include User Notice and/or CPS URL fields.
Issuer Alternative Name extension, supported by the
Generic User Certificate
template, when configuring a profile with the REST API enrollment method and 3rd party app authentication method.
New manual-enrollment REST API
For profiles configured with the “Manual approval” authentication method, you can use the new manual-enrollment
API endpoint to submit a certificate request via API and drop it into the queues for authorized administrators to review and manually approve it or reject it.
Once a request has been manually approved, the user will receive an email with instructions on how to download the certificate via the currently supported web-based enrollment methods: CSR, Browser PKCS12, and DigiCert Trust Assistant.
Sugerencia
Use the existing enrollment-details
API endpoint to retrieve the status of a specific enrollment by submitting the enrollment Id.
SAML single logout
Enables a profile, with the SAML IdP
authentication method, to be configured with a SAML single logout
URL. This allows an end user to click on a Single Logout
link displayed on the public-facing enrollment pages, which forces the logout of all connected SAML sessions on both the Service Provider and the Identity Provider.
Enhancements
DigiCert Trust Assistant for public S/MIME
DigiCert Trust Assistant support for the issuance of public S/MIME certificates (escrowed or non-escrowed, depending on the profile configuration) from PKI Platform 8 accounts, using the following authentication methods:
Manual approval

Additional options in “Valid to” filter
Enhanced the “Valid to” filter inside the Certificates list page to support three new filters, in addition to searching between a date range:
By days, for example for: certificates expiring in the next 7 days.
From a specific date, for example for: certificates expiring after 1st March 2023.
Until a specific date, for example for: certificates expiring before 15th March 2023.
Enhancements to the Generic Private Server Certificate template
Enabled the Browser PKCS12 enrollment method and associated authentication methods, which are Manual approval, Enrollment code, and SAML IdP.
Fixes

Sensor v3.8.54 release
The sensor copyright version changed to 2023.
Fixes
Auto-refresh for views
Removed auto-refresh for all views except Managed Automation view. Streamlined refresh to be inline for the grid alone instead of refreshing the whole page. Auto-refresh preserves user state and ongoing actions.
Fix Dashboard drill down links for certificate lifecycle pages
Fixed deep links from the dashboard graphs to sensor, sensor connections, managed automation, and other pages to filter and align to the data shown in the graphs.
Intune Device template
Resolved a miss-configuration issue with the Device Authentication for Microsoft Intune (SCEP)

New
Application rebranding
Updated all references to Enterprise PKI Manager to reflect the product’s new name: Trust Lifecycle Manager.
Rebranded the Enterprise PKI Manager application to Trust Lifecycle Manager. Assets that have been rebranded include:
Product/administration portals
DigiCert documentation and API websites
Email templates
Knowledgebase articles
Additionally, the “EPKI” certificate view has been removed from the default system views. Customers can make use of the “All Certificate” system view to filter the same certificate data and create their own custom views.
Issuance of Public S/MIME certificates via DigiCert PKI Platform 8
The new Public S/MIME Secure Email (via PKI Platform 8) certificate profile template leverages DigiCert PKI Platform 8 to issue public S/MIME RSA email signing and encryption certificates linked to a user seat.
Certificate requests can be enrolled and authenticated by these methods:
Enrollment method | Authentication method |
---|---|
|
|
|
|
To learn more about this feature, see Public S/MIME Secure Email (via PKI Platform 8) template.
Nota
Existing PKI Platform 8 customers can simply share the API key with their DigiCert ONE Trust Lifecycle Manager account, where a new profile will be created to issue the Public S/MIME certificates. A matching profile will be automatically created within the PKI Platform 8 account.
Certificate lifecycle operations for Public S/MIME certificates issued via a DigiCert ONE Trust Lifecycle Manager account must be carried out within that account.
Managed automation - sensor DV
Issue DV certificates on sensor connections managed using certificate lifecycle automation. Create DNS integrations that allow sensors to fulfill DCV challenges to issue DV certificates to appliances and cloud providers.
Bulk actions on certificate lifecycle
In case of compromise or account consolidation, select more than one certificate to renew or reissue certificates in bulk.
Admin can select more than one certificate from Certificate section and trigger automation.
Admin can use APIs to bulk reissue certificates.
CertCentral Connector
With this release we are introducing the TLM connectors framework. This framework will help drive integrations in the future.
A new CertCentral connector is being added to:
Issue private and public certificates. (Existing functionality will now use the connector instead of the CertCentral linking page.)
Discover certificates. We can now pull certificate data from linked CertCentral account into TLM.
Users can define what data should be imported (valid certificates, certificates expired in last x days, revoked certificates).
This data can be assigned to a BU at import and also tagged with user defined labels. these labels will be available for search in the certificate views in a future release.
With introduction of connectors the “Link to CertCentral” feature is rolled into the CertCentral Connector.
Nota
The “Link to CertCentral” page is no longer available.
Domain control validation for OV/EV using ACME
Customers can now perform domain control validation (DCV) for pre-validated OV/EV organization Public TLS certificates from CertCentral using ACME.
With this release, clients can demonstrate domain control using either DNS (ACME DNS.01) or HTTP (ACME HTTP.01) methods for their OV/EV requests. This option is only available when other organization and extended validations are already completed.
Enhancements
ACME - Skip validation for prevalidated domains
TLM ACME server is no longer creating challenge requests for prevalidated domains during ACME flows.
This will simplify client-side workflows where a dummy validation needs to be hosted by the client. This in turn means that:
Cert-manager: client can bypass challenge creation and validation step.
Certbot: hosting of dummy challenge on port 80 (with requirement that port 80 not be used by any other service) is no longer needed.
CA Manager - Private certificate automation on appliances
Most appliances such as F5 and Citrix ADC require that an organization be specified when creating a CSR during automation. CA Manager - Private Server has been enhanced to accept an organization that can be used for such automation workflows.
Patch
Automation certificate profiles
Fixed an issue with the creation of automation certificate profiles.
