Sectigo connector

With a Sectigo connector in DigiCert​​®​​ Trust Lifecycle Manager, you can:

  • Discover and import all certificate types from your Sectigo account for centralized monitoring in Trust Lifecycle Manager.

  • Use Trust Lifecycle Manager to issue, manage, and automate public server certificates from Sectigo CAs using various enrollment methods.

Before you begin

Before adding a Sectigo CA connector in Trust Lifecycle Manager, make sure the following prerequisites are satisfied.

You need an active DigiCert sensor to establish and manage the connection to your Sectigo account. To learn more, see Deploy and manage sensors.

  • Make sure the Certificate Manager REST API is enabled for your Sectigo account.

  • You need to know the base URL and customer URI for accessing your Sectigo account.

  • You need the username and password for an API administrator user in your Sectigo account, with access to the certificate types (and organizations) you will import, issue, and manage via the connector in Trust Lifecycle Manager.

    DigiCert recommends using Sectigo credentials for an administrator with the RAO Admin-SSL role and at least the following minimum privileges enabled:

    Organizational privileges

    • Add organizations & departments

    • 1. Manage permissions are required to discover and import different certificate types into Trust Lifecycle Manager.

Add Sectigo connector

To add a Sectigo connector in Trust Lifecycle Manager:

  1. From the Trust Lifecycle Manager menu, go to Integrations > Connectors.

  2. Select the Add connector button.

  3. In the Certificate authorities section, select the option for Sectigo.

    Complete the form as described in the following steps.

  4. Configure the general connector properties in the top section of the form:

    • Name: Assign a friendly name to this connector.

    • Managing sensor: Select one or more active DigiCert sensors to manage the integration.

      작은 정보

      Selecting multiple sensors adds fault-tolerance to the integration. If one sensor fails, Trust Lifecycle Manager will automatically fail over and use one of the other sensors.

  5. Configure the Sectigo access details in the Link account section:

    • Base URL: Enter the base URL you use to access Sectigo Certificate Manager (for example, https://cert-manager.com).

    • Username: Enter the username for an API administrator user in your Sectigo account with access to the applicable certificate types and organizations to manage with this connector. For minimum required permissions, see Sectigo prerequisites.

    • Password: Enter the password for the API administrator user in Sectigo.

    • Customer URI: Enter the unique customer identifier for your Sectigo account (for example, cst01234).

  6. Fill out the Import attributes section if you want to import existing certificates from Sectigo:

    • Import certificates from this connector: Select whether to import certificates or not. If importing, select options for which certificates to import.

      To import certificates into Trust Lifecycle Manager that were originally discovered in your Sectigo account, select the Sectigo-discovered certificates (all CAs) option.

    • Business unit: (Optional) Assign a business unit to imported certificates. Only users assigned to this business unit can manage the imported certificates in Trust Lifecycle Manager.

    • Certificate assignment rules: (Optional) Select assignment rules for automatically assigning metadata to imported certificates.
