Create authentication certificates

You will need a client certificate (formatted as a PKCS12 file) from DigiCert® Account Manager installed on your device.

To create authentication certificates in Account Manager:

  1. Go to the DigiCert® Account Manager.

  2. Select Access from the left navigation menu. There are two types of users:

    • Regular user: An interactive user account assigned to a person so they can log in and work on the DigiCert​​®​​ Trust Lifecycle Manager user interface (UI).

    • Service user: A special user account type for accessing the DigiCert​​®​​ Trust Lifecycle Manager REST API service or integrating with external applications and services.

    Nota

    When configuring your REST-enabled profile, bind it to the regular or service user for which you created the authentication certificate.

  3. Select or create the desired user from the appropriate page.

  4. Set the appropriate user roles if needed. We recommend following the principle of least privilege, where a user is given the minimum access needed to perform the required tasks.

  5. On the user details page, scroll to the authentication certificates section and select Create authentication certificate.

  6. Save the P12 password that protects the file.

  7. Select Download to download the certificate.
