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.
DigiCert platform prerequisites
The DigiCert® Trust Lifecycle Manager System Discovery feature must be enabled for your account in DigiCert® Account Manager. Contact your DigiCert account representative to verify or enable this feature.
To configure system scans, you need the Manager user role for Trust Lifecycle Manager or a custom user role that includes the
System scans"Manage" permission. To learn more, see Users and access.
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.
Avviso
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 Trust Lifecycle Manager to see all your active agents and enable system scans for individual agents or multiple agents at once.
