Certificate templates

The certificate template is where the configuration of a certificate starts. Certificate templates are used to create certificate profiles, which in turn are used to issue certificates.

Each certificate template has a corresponding seat type and set of available certificate options. It is important to choose the right certificate template as the starting point when creating a certificate profile.

To view available certificate templates in your account:

Aviso

To create a certificate profile from a certificate template, the appropriate seat type license for that certificate template (as seen in the Seat type column) must have already been purchased, otherwise the link to that certificate template is disabled.
