Self-service portal

Go to Settings > Self-service portal to enable the DigiCert​​®​​ Trust Lifecycle Manager self-service portal where end users can go to search and download their own certificates.

After enabling the self-service portal, the system generates a unique portal URL and QR code to share with users who need self-service access.

Before you begin

  • The Trust Lifecycle Manager Self service portal feature must be enabled for your account in DigiCert® Account Manager. Account administrators can verify and enable this feature.

  • To configure the self-service portal, you need the SSP Manager user role for Trust Lifecycle Manager or a custom user role that includes the SSP Portal config manage permission. To learn more, see Users and access.

  • Only certificates issued from a profile with the Enable self-service portal option can be searched and downloaded from the self-service portal. To learn more, see Create certificate profiles.

Enable the open portal

  1. From the Trust Lifecycle Manager main menu, select Settings > Self-service portal.
