Enterprise PKI Manager

New

DigiCert Desktop Client - support for a new client that allows the creation of keys on native browser keystores and provisioning of User certificates using the configured authentication method within a profile, for both Windows and macOS platforms. You simply need to configure a new User certificate profile and choose "DigiCert Desktop Client" as the enrollment method. Supported features:

  • Private key exportability

    Policy feature for browsers using the Windows certificate store - Firefox or any browser on macOS machines do not support this policy feature.

  • Certificate renewal

    The renewal of software certificates is based on a proof-of-possession of the private key flow, allowing to strongly authenticate the renewal request by using the DigiCert Desktop Client to locate the matching private key for the certificate being renewed, and signing a transaction using such private key.

  • Client Tools page

    New web page within Enterprise PKI Manager (under "Resources" menu option) from where administrators can download the DigiCert Desktop Client.

Opmerking

Support for hardware tokens will be delivered as part of the next release
