CA certificates
Use the Account > Root CAs function to upload the certificates for your own root and intermediate certificate authorities (CAs) into DigiCert® Trust Lifecycle Manager. This helps analyze and manage the end-entity certificates issued from these CAs to:
Evaluate certificate security and chain information more accurately.
Categorize and manage end-entity certificates by the issuing CA.
Create unique certificate lifecycle notifications per issuing CA.
Verify trusted CAs for EST client authentication.
Avis
Any root and intermediate CA certificates that you add are account-scoped to the Trust Lifecycle Manager account where you uploaded them.
Private versus public CAs
Private CA certificates become active as soon as you upload them.
Public CA certificates are initially set to inactive, pending DigiCert review. Contact Support with questions or for help expediting the approval process.
