Certificate profiles

To enroll certificates through DigiCert​​®​​ Trust Lifecycle Manager, you first need to create certificate profiles. A certificate profile defines the general configuration options for each type of certificate you can enroll, including the:

  • Issuing CA

  • Enrollment method

  • Authentication method

  • Business unit

  • Certificate properties

  • Cryptographic settings

When you enroll a certificate through Trust Lifecycle Manager, you first select a certificate profile and then provide any details specific to that individual certificate.

Importante

If your Trust Lifecycle Manager account uses the legacy licensing model (with different seat types), each certificate profile has an associated seat type that it inherits from the base template used to create that profile. When you enroll a certificate, it consumes the seat type associated with the selected certificate profile. To learn more, see Legacy seat types.
