Platform components
Before using DigiCert® Trust Lifecycle Manager, work with your account representative to prepare your environment by setting up the following DigiCert® platform components.
Account Manager
DigiCert® Account Manager is where you manage users and access to Trust Lifecycle Manager.
Work with your account representative to:
Add license files.
Create your primary DigiCert account and organization.
Create your primary DigiCert account administrator.
Create additional users and enable API access if needed to help manage the account.
CA Manager
DigiCert® CA Manager is an integrated PKI service for issuing private trust certificates for your organization directly from Trust Lifecycle Manager.
To issue and manage different types of private certificates from CA Manager, work with your account representative to:
Set up private root and intermediate certificate authorities (CAs).
Add HSMs and register the partitions.
Add domains for OCSP, AIA, and other policies.
Set defaults for OCSP, CRL, and AIA.
CertCentral
DigiCert CertCentral® is a PKI platform for issuing different types of public trust certificates from DigiCert.
To use Trust Lifecycle Manager to issue and manage public DigiCert certificates for your organization, you need a CertCentral account.
Your account representative can help you set up a new CertCentral account for the types of public certificates you need.
Aviso
Once your CertCentral account is set up, you can add a CA connector to link it to your Trust Lifecycle Manager account.
