Create certificate automation profiles
Create certificate profiles in DigiCert® Trust Lifecycle Manager to define issuance options for certificates under automated lifecycle management:
Select from different certificate templates to create profiles for different issuing certificate authorities (CAs) including DigiCert® CA Manager, CertCentral, Microsoft, or AWS Private CA.
The base certificate template you select must list certificate automation in the Use cases column.
Available certificate options depend on the issuing CA and whether it's for private or public trust.
To get certificates from external issuing CAs, add a connector before creating the certificate profile:
Select the correct Enrollment method in the certificate profile based on how and where to install the certificates:
To install certificates to web server systems, select DigiCert agent as the enrollment method.
To install certificates to network appliances or cloud services, select DigiCert sensor as the enrollment method.
The above enrollment methods are for DigiCert® Trust Lifecycle Manager's managed automation solution. By contrast, the enrollment method called 3rd-party ACME client is for use with third-party ACME clients like Certbot.
