Trust Lifecycle Manager

2023 releases

December 13, 2023

DigiCert® ONE version: 1.6573.2 | Trust Lifecycle Manager: 1.2366.0

New

DigiCert Trust Assistant - post-processing scripts for Windows (AD Publish)

Added a new DigiCert Trust Assistant post-processing script enabling the automated publication of a user's X.509 certificate to the userCertificate attribute within the Active Directory.

You can enable the post-processing script for S/MIME certificate templates:

  • Public S/MIME Secure Email (via CertCentral)

  • Private S/MIME Secure Email

Enhancements

DigiCert Trust Assistant - post-processing script for Outlook

In this release, we expose the internal validation checks required for the Outlook post-processing script to successfully configure Outlook with the installed certificate.

Internal validation checks:

  • Access to CRL and OCSP services via the URLs inside the CRL Distribution Point (CDP) and Authority Information Access (AIA) extensions

  • CA chain validation (including the Root CA)

Fixes

Certificate Policy validation for eIDAS templates

Resolved the Certificate Policy OID validation issue with the five eIDAS templates.

Importante

Customers using these templates must mark the CAs created or uploaded onto the DigiCert® CA Manager application as “Qualified.” Otherwise, the Issuing CAs will not be shown when creating a profile from the eIDAS templates.

To mark the CAs as "Qualified, in the Create ICA flow, use the “Get a CSR from DigiCert ONE and sign with your own CA” option, and then select the “Qualified” option.

Renewal options in the revocation email template

Removed the list of renewal checkboxes within the revocation email template configured within a profile.

Unwanted certificate fields in the public-facing pages

Removed the internal profile fields appearing on public-facing pages (for example, we removed the key usage field).

Latest sensor not working when set up as a proxy

In the latest sensor release, v3.8.63, we fixed the bug in sensor version v3.8.62, restricting agents from using the sensor as a proxy.

Deleting the Azure Key vault connector marks the CC connector as "Action needed"

When deleting the Azure Key vault connector (and other connectors), the CC connector is no longer marked as Action needed.

Support TLM-ACME server with Ansible

Added support for the Ansible ACME Client in the TLM-ACME server.

December 7, 2023

DigiCert® ONE version: 1.6392.5 | Trust Lifecycle Manager: 1.2350.0

New

Nota

Removed the DigiCert Desktop Client enrollment method from the Generic User Certificate template, which is no longer supported. If you are making use of the DigiCert Desktop Client in a profile, use the DigiCert Trust Assistant client instead by cloning your profile and selecting it as the new enrollment method. For new profiles, simply select the DigiCert Trust Assistant enrollment method. See the online documentation for details of its functionality.

FQDN and IP addresses allowed list for server requests

New feature that allows authorized profile administrators to configure a list of FQDN and IP addresses that are allowed to be included within private server certificate requests and checked against a profile-based ‘allowed list’ before issuance. Certificate request fields that will be checked are:

  • SAN:dnsName

  • SAN:ipAddress

The list of FQDNs/IPs within the profile can be modified at any time.

Supported template for this feature: Generic Private Server Certificate.

Custom extensions

New powerful feature that allows authorized administrators to configure private certificates with custom extensions, defined as a JSON structure inside the Advanced profile wizard step for the three ‘generic’ certificate templates:

  • Generic Device Certificate

  • Generic Private Server Certificate

  • Generic User Certificate

Values for the private custom extension can be sourced from all the standard application sources based on the profile’s enrollment method, with the exception of “Microsoft Autoenrollment”, which will be supported in a future release.

For details see: Issue private certificates with custom extensions

Workflow customization for agent-based automation

Enhanced workflows that allow administrators to customize automation using hooks at various steps of the automation flow.

  • Pre-scripts before automation starts, and post-scripts after the certificate is installed:

    • Assign pre and post-scripts for the core automation workflow based on application type for one or more agents.

    • Configure script at application or request level.

For more details see: Agent scripts

Nota

Minimum agent version: 3.0.8.

Sensor Update v.3.8.62

New sensor release with the following updates:

  • JDK updated to v17

  • Updated open-source packages to the latest version to remove vulnerabilities.

Agent Update v.3.0.8

New agent release to support workflow extensibility.

New eIDAS Qualified Certificates templates

New set of eIDAS Qualified Certificate ‘limited’ templates that replace the 3 released earlier this year, which have been removed, and extend the use-cases to support issuance of qualified certificates that meet the requirements of the Payment Services Directive 2 (PSD2). The new templates (linked to User Seat type for Natural persons, and Organization Seat types for Legal Persons/eSeals) will also make use of an OCSP service that is ETSI compliant.

Natural person templates
  • eIDAS Electronic Signature Certificate (Natural Person): It allows Qualified Trust Service Providers, who are audited and compliant with eIDAS, to issue EU Qualified Certificates to natural persons  (QCP-n). This certificate will result in an Advanced Electronic Signature under eIDAS [SD1] (EU Regulation No 910/2014).

  • eIDAS Electronic Signature Certificate (Natural Person with QSCD): It allows Qualified Trust Service Providers, who are audited and compliant with eIDAS, to issue EU Qualified Certificates to natural persons where the private key and the related certificate reside on a QSCD (QCP-n-qscd). This certificate will result in a Qualified Electronic Signature under eIDAS (EU Regulation No 910/2014).

Enhancements

Multiple key sizes per profile

Profile enhancement that allows an authorized administrator to set multiple key sizes using checkboxes in a single profile, without the need to create separate profiles per key size. This feature is supported for profiles configured with any of the below enrollment methods for most templates, where a user (or a client) can now submit a CSR using any of the allowed key sizes set within the profile:

  • CSR

  • EST

  • REST API

  • SCEP

Nota

This enhancement is applied to all supported key types: RSA, ECDSA, EdDSA

This enhancement is not supported by the below templates:

  • Public S/MIME Secure Email (via PKI Platform 8)

  • Public S/MIME Secure Email (via CertCentral)

User experience enhancements
  • Warning message in Reports side-rail when a user exceeds the maximum amount of 10 custom reports.

Extended use of Action Needed

Extended the "Action needed" functionality to show a profile in this state when the enrollment method associated with the profile is no longer enabled on the account.

Resend renewal email action

Support for a new action for certificates inside a renewal window, allowing an authorized administrator to manually send the renewal email by clicking on the "Resend renewal email" action available from the Inventory page

MS Autoenrollment support for ”Public S/MIME Secure Email (via CertCentral)” template

Support for the Microsoft Autoenrollment enrollment method using the DigiCert AutoEnrollment Server to silently issue Public S/MIME sponsor-validated certificates using a profile created from the Public S/MIME Secure Email (via CertCentral) template.

November 15, 2023

DigiCert® ONE version: 1.6392.4 | Trust Lifecycle Manager: 1.2287.0

New

New Security Identifier (SID) extension

Support for the Security Identifier (SID) extension (OID - 1.3.6.1.4.1.311.25.2), which Windows uses for authentication (e.g. Windows Logon). Users can manually enter the SID in the user interface or read automatically from an Active Directory attribute using the new DigiCert Autoenrollment Server release (v2.23.2.0), available for download from Resources > Client tools.

The following templates support the SID extension for all enrollment methods:

  • Domain Controller

  • Generic User Certificate

Starting November 1, 2023, at 18:00 MDT (November 2, 2023, at 00:00 UTC), we will require all DigiCert ONE accounts to use two-factor authentication (2FA).

You will use both your credentials and a one-time password to access your account. When you log in to your DigiCert ONE account on November 1, you will be prompted to set up two-factor authentication. If you have already enabled two-factor authentication in Account Manager before this date, no further action is necessary.

How to enable two-factor authentication in Account Manager.

Nota

If you use single sign-on (SSO) to access your DigiCert ONE account, the new two-factor authentication requirement does not affect you. However, the requirement will activate if you modify your SSO settings.

Enhancements

October 25, 2023

DigiCert® ONE version: 1.6201.5 | Trust Lifecycle Manager: 1.2224.0

New

Optional grace period for certificate renewal

New Grace period option for the “Renewal options” section that allows the addition of the days before expiration to the renewed certificates. If not selected, the renewed certificate takes a strict validity period based on the “Certificate expired in” value.

For example, for a profile configured with the grace period, if renewing a 365-day certificate 20 days before its expiration, the renewed certificate will have a validity period of 385 days. If the option was disabled, the renewed certificate only has a validity period of 365 days.

Nota

This feature is enabled for profiles making use of Issuing CAs hosted by DigiCert® CA Manager, not external CAs such Microsoft CA, CertCentral or AWS CA.

Bulk deployment for agents

Ability to create a deployable package with an encrypted API-KEY that can then be distributed using any available tools like GPO push, Ansible, PS Exec, etc. and triggered such that the agent provisions to the account and is ready for automation.

Enhancements

October 18, 2023

DigiCert® ONE version: 1.6201.3 | Trust Lifecycle Manager: 1.2203.0

New

Public S/MIME template for Email Gateway providers using CMP

This new certificate template named Public S/MIME Secure Email using CMP (via CertCentral) allows issuance of Public S/MIME sponsor-validated certificates via CertCentral using the Certificate Management Protocol (CMP), is mainly consumed by our Email Gateway service providers.

The template is tagged as “limited”, meaning that a is not available for all accounts. If required, contact an administrator with appropriate access to assign templates to accounts.

Enhancements

CertCentral Public S/MIME template enhancements

Updated the Public S/MIME Secure Email (via CertCentral) template to support:

  • Multiple email addresses within the SAN:rfc822Name extension.

  • LDAP search feature, where profiles with this option enabled allows certificates issued from the profile to be searched using an LDAP client. See Access certificates with LDAP (digicert.com) for more info.

Nota

  1. Searches based on a “mail” value (an email address) are currently done against the Subject DN Email field, not the SAN:rfc822Name extension.

  2. For CertCentral issued certificates, the LDAP service does not search against CA certificates, nor CRLs, only end-user Public S/MIME certificates for profiles with the LDAP option enabled.

Certificate Renewal Reminder email template enhancements

Added two new variables to the Certificate Renewal Reminder email template:

  • cert_serial_number: will show a “Certificate Serial Number” label in the renewal email with the associated certificate serial number of the certificate being renewed.

  • account_id

  • business_unit_id

  • seat_type

  • active

Enhancements

Dashboard enhancements
  • Auto-layout of the dashboard when removing or adding widgets to find the best position for every widget automatically

  • New Certificates by CA vendor widget showing certificates issued grouped by the Subject DN - Organization value of the Issuing CA, including:

    • Up to 10 sectors in the pie chart, one for each different vendor.

    • An Others sector in the pie, for certificates that are not identified/trusted within the Account > Root CAs list.

    • An Unknown category, for certificates without a Subject DN - Organization value in the Issuing CA certificate.

  • New Overview icon available next to the page title

  • Redesign of the Automation Alerts widget to show the alerts by categories using a vertical and scrollable graph instead of a horizontal carrousel.

Make Server authentication EKU optional for ACME enrollment method in CA Manager Private Server Certificate profile.

Fixes

Profiles list page

Resolved issue with showing the new onboarding/overview page when visiting the Mange > Profiles page even though there are profiles available on the account. The issue was related to retrieving the first profile in the account as “Inactive”, hence the page thinking there are no profiles available on the account and showing the new onboarding page.

October 4, 2023

DigiCert® ONE version: 1.6201.1 | Trust Lifecycle Manager: 1.2128.0

New

Overview pages

A new set of overview pages, which are displayed when no data is available on a page, provides users:

  • With an overview of the page, and

  • Guidance on how to see data populated for one of these overview pages.

This is particularly important for users who are onboarding onto the platform for the first time.

A new icon is also displayed next to the page’s title. This icon provides access to the same overview page anytime after the product has been used and data has already been created.

Pages that implement the new overview functionality are:

  • Inventory

  • Manage > Enrollments, Profiles, Seats, Network scans

  • Reporting & auditing > Audit logs, Report library

  • Integrations > Agents, Sensors

  • Settings > Notifications

AWS private CA discovery

Discover certificates using the AWS private CA connectors configured in TLM. Admins can either enable discovery when adding a new connector or updating existing ones for discovery. Once enabled, the connector discovers and imports certificates across all the roots configured in the target AWS account.

Network scan enhancement to support more detailed cipher discovery

Enable cipher discovery when setting up a network scan. This allows you to find all the ciphers configured on the system in addition to the handshake cipher information collected.

When enabled, view this cipher information under the certificate details section categorized by protocol and flagged when found to be weak.

Inherit certificate tags from profile

Add tags when creating a new profile. Manage tags for a profile. Any certificate issued from that profile inherits the tags assigned to the profile.

  • Public roots and ICAs if uploaded undergo an approval step and apply to all accounts once approved.

Enhancements

Dashboard enhancements

Set of enhancements to the Dashboard:

  • New widget management feature, where graphs and widgets in the Dashboard can be added/removed and refreshed by users from a menu option located on the top-right of the Dashboard.

  • Every widget now shows a “Last updated” date upon which it was last refreshed, and can be removed from the Dashboard. Note that some widgets can be refreshed in real-time and others via a scheduled job (asynchronous).

  • The Seat Usage widget has been split into two separate graphs.

  • The Pending Enrollments and Pending Recovery widgets have been merged into a single graph.

Update to CertCentral connector

With CertCentral implementing 2-factor authentication, we are limiting the options for linking TLM to CertCentral such that:

  • All DigiCert hosted instances continue to have the option to use the CertCentral username/password to authenticate and link to CertCentral.

  • Any on-premises or non DigiCert deployment only shows the API-KEY option to link to CertCentral.

X509 and PKCS7 Certificate Download Label

Updated the X509 and PKCS7 download button labels in public-facing web pages to show more user-friendly labels:

The new Inventory page includes an enhanced views dropdown list and a new collapsible Quick Taskbar, available from the right side of the Inventory page with quick access icons to:

  • “Add connectors”, which redirects the user to the Manage > Connectors page.

  • “Manage views”, from where default views can be managed and custom views can be created.

  • “Reports”, to create instant reports (for less than 5000 records), and access the Custom Reports wizard.

  • “Notifications”, which redirects the user to the Manage > Notifications page to manage or create new custom notifications.

Enhancements

DigiCert Trust Assistant - RSASSA-PSS renewals

Support for RSASSA-PSS certificate renewals via DigiCert Trust Assistant.

DirectoryName enhancements

Extended support for additional fields/aliases within the SAN:directoryName and IAN:directoryName extensions:

  • USER_IDENTFIER using various aliases: USERID, USERIDENTIFIER, and UID.

  • Extend the STATE field to support the S alias.

Fixes

Fixed an issue that prevented downloading user certificates

Fixed issue with not being able to download a user certificate for profiles configured with Browser PKCS12/Enrollment Code methods, which occurs under some specific ‘caching’ circumstances.

You also need to have the Automation feature enabled on your account.

September 14, 2023

DigiCert® ONE version: 1.6074.5 | Trust Lifecycle Manager: 1.2065.0

New

eIDAS Qualified Certificates

European Trusted Service Providers who are compliant with eIDAS can now issue EU Qualified Certificates to natural and legal persons for the purposes of supporting digital signatures, peer entity authentication, data authentication, and data confidentiality, in accordance with EU Regulation No. 910/2014 [i.9], and ETSI EN 319 412-5 [i.7] for requirements relating to QCStatements.

Two new templates (eIDAS Electronic Signature and Electronic Seal) have been created to support these use cases. The templates are bound to the user seat type and tagged as Limited, meaning that only system administrators with appropriate permissions can explicitly assign them to accounts that require these types of certificates:

  • eIDAS Electronic Signature Certificate

  • eIDAS Electronic Seal Certificate

Importante

Trusted Service Providers are fully responsible for the issuance of Qualified Certificates that are conformant with the eIDAS standard and also responsible for meeting all of the regulations and requirements set within it.

Enhancements

DigiCert Trust Assistant enhancements

DigiCert Trust Assistant now supports the new RSASSA-PSS signing algorithm.

Nota

Using this algorithm requires DigiCert Trust Assistant v1.1.3, available for both Windows and Mac platforms from the client tools page.

Relaxing rules for country codes

Relaxed the SubjectDN Country field validation rules. Certificates imported into the Trust Lifecycle Manager application via the “certificate-import” API now allow any 2-letter country code.

Issuance of new certificates will continue to be restricted to ISO-compliant country codes.

September 6, 2023

DigiCert® ONE version: 1.6074.1 | Trust Lifecycle Manager: 1.2036.0

New

New certificate system view

A new system view available from the Certificates page shows which certificates will be expiring in the next 30 days, and shows the remaining days until expiration in a new table field called “Expiring in (days)”. Users can filter the data further to show expiring certificates by seat type.

Enhancements

Generic Private Server template update

Updated the template to set the “Server authentication” Extended Key Usage (EKU) as default.

Email templates enhancement

Updated all email templates to use the Seat ID value instead of User Full Name.

Enhancements to Issuing CA field

For certificates discovered or issued using Certificate Lifecycle workflows:

  • The Issuing CA column will now show the issuer common name, in line with existing behavior for CA manager certificates.

  • A new column called CA vendor shows the name of the CA (e.g. DigiCert).

Fixes

Seat usage data in dashboard

Resolved issue with Seat Usage widget in the dashboard, which was only showing data against all business units and not respecting the business unit selector at the top of the page. Customers using only one business unit would not have noticed the issue.

August 9, 2023

DigiCert® ONE version: 1.5874.4 | Trust Lifecycle Manager: 1.1946.0

Enhancements

Profile cloning

Added support for choosing a different business unit or issuing CA when cloning a profile. Previously, both fields were locked and could not be modified when cloning a profile. Now, if you have access to additional business units and issuing CAs, you will be able to select them before saving the newly cloned profile.

Intune enhancement

Intune revocation scheduler job will now run hourly instead of every 3 hours.

Profile enhancement - default common name

Starting from this release, if a template supports the Subject DN Common name field, it will be automatically added to the profile wizard’s second step by default.

Private S/MIME Secure Email enhancement

The previous Private S/MIME Secure Email template implementation blocked users from modifying the Key Usages extension. Now, both the Digital signature and Key encipherment fields are optional, and account administrators can configure signing-only and/or encryption-only certificates.

New

Microsoft CA support for issuance of user certificates via web-based flows

Added support for issuance of user certificates using a Microsoft CA as the issuer with Microsoft certificate templates, which are selected when creating a profile from the new Microsoft CA User Certificate template and will prepopulate most of the profile wizard settings based on the Microsoft template configuration. Customers will still be able to control the SubjectDN and SAN fields to be used when signing the certificate, which will be added to the CSR that is sent to Microsoft CA for signing via the DigiCert MSCA Connector.

Prerequisites: Similar to the already available Microsoft CA support for private certificates, this solution also requires the configuration of a sensor and a Microsoft CA Connector, available under the Integrations menu option.

The Microsoft CA User Certificate template supports the below user enrollment/authentication methods (flows):

Enrollment method

Authentication method

  • Browser PKCS12

  • CSR

  • DigiCert Trust Assistant

    (minimum version 1.1.2)

  • Manual approval

  • Enrollment code

  • SAML IdP

Also added support for these certificate lifecycle operations using a Microsoft CA as the signer/issuer:

  • revocation, where the Microsoft CA solution will be responsible for providing any certificate validation services (CRL / OCSP).

  • renewal, where the appropriate renewal flow will be enforced based on the profile configuration using the renewal thresholds set within the Microsoft template and intersecting with the allowed renewal window values set within the profile wizard.

For more details, see instructions.

  • Replaced represents certificates that are replaced on a server using automation.

  • Replaced External represents automated certificates that are found to be replaced outside Trust Lifecycle Manager during a discovery task.

New permissions for connector pages

Added separate view, create, and manage permissions for connector pages.

Native Windows and Linux sensors

Trust Lifecycle Manager administrators can now install the DigiCert Sensor on Windows or Linux machines.

Fixes

Missing email templates

Resolved issue with some email templates not being displayed for profiles configured with the SAML IdP authentication method with the Enforce manual approval checkbox enabled.

Incorrect certificate status when suspending imported seat

Resolved issue when uploading certificates from an external system bound to an imported seat type. After suspending the certificate via the UI, the certificate status in Trust Lifecycle Manager was correct (showing a status of Suspended), but the revocation request to CA Manager was not submitted, causing the status to be shown as Valid and validation services not reflecting the correct status.

March 23, 2023

DigiCert® version: 1.4803.6 | Trust Lifecycle Manager: 1.1380.0

Enhancements

Enrollment code enhancements

Added new actions available from the enrollments page, for enrollments linked to a profile configured with an enrollment code authentication method. This allows an authorized administrator to:

  • Unlock a locked enrollment code via the UI after the maximum number of attempts has been reached.

  • Reactivate an expired enrollment code.

  • View an enrollment code and URL for enrollments associated with private CAs. This action is hidden for enrollments associated with public CAs.

Also added a configuration option for profiles configured with the enrollment code authentication method, to set the maximum number of incorrect enrollment code authentication attempts before locking.

Auto-copy a SAN:dnsName field with the SubjectDN:commonName value

For profiles configured from the “Generic Private Server” template, added an Auto-copy from SAN: dnsName checkbox for the Subject DN - Common Name field. This automatically copies the value into the dnsName field, regardless of whether this field is configured in the profile or not.

If a profile is configured with a dnsName field and a certificate request already contains one or multiple dnsName values, the Common Name value will appear automatically at the top of the list.

March 15, 2023

DigiCert® version: 1.4803.2 | Trust Lifecycle Manager: 1.1356.0

Enhancements

Certificate expiration email template

Customers with unmanaged or imported seat licenses can configure a certificate expiration email to be sent before the uploaded certificate expires. This configuration page is now available under the Settings - Uploaded certificates expiration menu, and will be visible only when an account has been allocated with Unmanaged and/or Imported seats/licenses.

Additional option for ACME enrollment

For third-party ACME client-based flows, we added a new parameter option for the client to explicitly ask Trust Lifecycle Manager to issue a new certificate from CertCentral irrespective of the status of the previous certificate. This allows users to enforce a re-enrollment in addition to the already available options to renew, reissue, or get a duplicate certificate.

Sample ACME URL: https://one.digicert.com/mpki/api/v1/acme/v2/directory?action=enroll

Fixes

Renewal reminder timeout for unmanaged/imported seats

Resolved an issue with renewal emails not being sent to end users. We have introduced a 30-second timeout period for the hourly job that takes care of sending renewal email reminders, when not receiving a response from the SMTP server responsible for sending the email.

Nota

We will not make a second attempt to send the same failed email at the next hourly run. Failed emails could pile up and there would be no room left for new emails to be sent. However, emails will be sent every [90, 60, 30, 15, 10, 7, 5, 3, 2, 1] days depending on profile configuration. Therefore, if an email fails to be sent at 90 days before expiration, the next attempt will be made at 60 days, etc.

Lowercase country values for unmanaged and imported seats

Resolved issue with not being able to upload unmanaged and imported certificates using a two-digit Subject DN country value in lowercase. We now support the upload of country values as case-insensitive values.

March 9, 2023

DigiCert® version: 1.4803.0 | Trust Lifecycle Manager: 1.1349.0

New

New extensions

Support for three new X.509 certificate extensions, which users can configure in the profile wizard:

  • Subject Alternative Name (SAN) Directory Name extension, supported by the Generic User Certificate template.

  • Certificate Policies extension, supported by all the standard templates, with the exception of the Public S/MIME (via PKI Platform 8) and CertCentral templates. You can configure a Certificate Policy extension with just a private OID, or include User Notice and/or CPS URL fields.

  • Issuer Alternative Name extension, supported by the Generic User Certificate template, when configuring a profile with the REST API enrollment method and 3rd party app authentication method.

New manual-enrollment REST API

For profiles configured with the “Manual approval” authentication method, you can use the new manual-enrollment API endpoint to submit a certificate request via API and drop it into the queues for authorized administrators to review and manually approve it or reject it.

Once a request has been manually approved, the user will receive an email with instructions on how to download the certificate via the currently supported web-based enrollment methods: CSR, Browser PKCS12, and DigiCert Trust Assistant.

Dica

Use the existing enrollment-details API endpoint to retrieve the status of a specific enrollment by submitting the enrollment Id.

SAML single logout

Enables a profile, with the SAML IdP authentication method, to be configured with a SAML single logout URL. This allows an end user to click on a Single Logout link displayed on the public-facing enrollment pages, which forces the logout of all connected SAML sessions on both the Service Provider and the Identity Provider.

Enhancements

DigiCert Trust Assistant for public S/MIME

DigiCert Trust Assistant support for the issuance of public S/MIME certificates (escrowed or non-escrowed, depending on the profile configuration) from PKI Platform 8 accounts, using the following authentication methods:

  • Manual approval

  • Enrollment code

  • SAML IdP

Updated menu items and other styling changes
  • Updated the left navigational menu items to use "sentence case" and follow DigiCert style guidelines. For example, “Business Unit” menu item becomes “Business unit”, “Reporting & Auditing” becomes “Reporting & auditing”, etc.

  • For public-facing enrollment pages:

    • Removed the colon after SDN and SAN section titles.

    • Updated the color, padding, margins, and font sizes of fixed field labels to meet DigiCert style guidelines.

  • Redesign of the audit logs details page to adhere to DigiCert design guidelines.

Seat object enhancements
  • Updated the GET Seat API endpoint to extend the response to include a seat_creation_date parameter showing the seat creation date.

  • Updated the Seat List web page to show an optional Created date column.

Profile wizard enhancements
  • Now allows for a maximum custom renewal window of up to 90 days.

  • Updated the renewal email template to also support sending renewal notifications up to 90 days in advance.

  • Variables inside the email templates are now alphabetically ordered.

Profile List page enhancement

Added a Seat type filter to the Profile List page to allow profiles to be filtered by a seat type.

Additional options in “Valid to” filter

Enhanced the “Valid to” filter inside the Certificates list page to support three new filters, in addition to searching between a date range:

  • By days, for example for: certificates expiring in the next 7 days.

  • From a specific date, for example for: certificates expiring after 1st March 2023.

  • Until a specific date, for example for: certificates expiring before 15th March 2023.

Enhancements to the Generic Private Server Certificate template

Enabled the Browser PKCS12 enrollment method and associated authentication methods, which are Manual approval, Enrollment code, and SAML IdP.

Fixes

Create custom report button in various places

Resolved a known issue that incorrectly showed the “Create custom report” button on the Certificates, Enrollments, and Seats List pages

Certificate and Seat consumption charts errors

Resolved an issue with Certificate and Seat consumption chart widgets within the Dashboard not displaying the correct data.

Error notifications on Certificates and Enrollment pages

Resolved issues with errors being displayed on the Certificates and Enrollments pages after the Issuing CA had been unassigned from an account. When the issue occurs on the Certificates page, a Not resolved label now appears in the Issuing CA column.

February 15, 2023

New

New organization identifier field

Added new subject DN field, Organization identifier (OID - 2.5.4.97), to the Generic User Certificate template.

Fixes

API error in distinguished name parsing

Fixed an error that occurred when using the API to import a certificate.

Instant reporting error

Fixed an error where the instant reporting button failed to download data.

Known issues

Custom report button appears but does not work

On the Certificates page, the "Create report" dropdown menu shows an option to "Create custom report," but nothing happens when this is selected. This feature will be implemented in a future release; the button was displayed erroneously.

February 9, 2023

Enhancements

Translations

Translations added for all languages.

Fixes

Edit connector details page not loading

Fixed an issue where users were not able to see the page for editing connector details.

CA Manager private profile creation with enrollment method as ACME shows blank page

Fixed an issue where users were not able to create a CA Manager profile.

Profile wizard enhancements

Added the template use cases and description to the initial page when creating or editing a profile.

Breadcrumb changes

Updated the breadcrumbs for all the pages under the “Manage” menu item to reflect the correct navigational structure. Approval/rejection emails sent to administrators for profiles configured with the “Manual approval” flow now contain a URL with the word “manage” in the patch.

Nota

URLs within emails that were already sent redirect to the new URL.

DigiCert Autoenrollment Server enhancements

Updated the DigiCert Autoenrollment Server to version 2.23.1.0 with the below enhancements:

  • Updated references from Enterprise PKI Manager to Trust Lifecycle Manager.

  • Partially masked the API KEY value within the Autoenrollment Server logs—only the first four characters are displayed in the log.

Friendly country list

Enhancement to only display the allowed country list with their 2-letter ISO country codes as part of dropdown lists within various application locations:

  • Admin-based enrollment pages

  • Profile wizard, when selecting a fixed Country value

  • Public-facing enrollment pages for end-users to select when enrolling for a certificate

Show "-" if there is no data in the table

For all data tables including certificate views, if there is no data for a given row, a hyphen is shown to represent “no data”.

Add validation in create automation flows for wildcard and SAN usecases

Add validation based on CertCentral product settings for wildcard products and products when they support SANs.

Sensor v3.8.54 release

The sensor copyright version changed to 2023.

Fixes

Auto-refresh for views

Removed auto-refresh for all views except Managed Automation view. Streamlined refresh to be inline for the grid alone instead of refreshing the whole page. Auto-refresh preserves user state and ongoing actions.

Intune Device template

Resolved a miss-configuration issue with the Device Authentication for Microsoft Intune (SCEP) template auto-copying the Common Name value to the DNS Server field and causing errors with CA Manager.

DigiCert Autoenrollment Server

Resolved a connection issue against the Hello API endpoint that was introduced after last month's rebranding.

January 11, 2023

New

Application rebranding

Updated all references to Enterprise PKI Manager to reflect the product’s new name: Trust Lifecycle Manager.

Rebranded the Enterprise PKI Manager application to Trust Lifecycle Manager. Assets that have been rebranded include:

  • Product/administration portals

  • DigiCert documentation and API websites

  • Email templates

  • Knowledgebase articles

Additionally, the “EPKI” certificate view has been removed from the default system views. Customers can make use of the “All Certificate” system view to filter the same certificate data and create their own custom views.

Issuance of Public S/MIME certificates via DigiCert PKI Platform 8

The new Public S/MIME Secure Email (via PKI Platform 8) certificate profile template leverages DigiCert PKI Platform 8 to issue public S/MIME RSA email signing and encryption certificates linked to a user seat.

Certificate requests can be enrolled and authenticated by these methods:

Enrollment method

Authentication method

  • Browser PKCS12

  • DigiCert Trust Assistant

  • Manual approval

  • Enrollment code

  • SAML IdP

  • REST API

  • Third-party application

  • Enrollment code

To learn more about this feature, see Public S/MIME Secure Email (via PKI Platform 8) template.

Nota

  • Existing PKI Platform 8 customers can simply share the API key with their DigiCert ONE Trust Lifecycle Manager account, where a new profile will be created to issue the Public S/MIME certificates. A matching profile will be automatically created within the PKI Platform 8 account.

  • Certificate lifecycle operations for Public S/MIME certificates issued via a DigiCert ONE Trust Lifecycle Manager account must be carried out within that account.

Managed automation - sensor DV

Issue DV certificates on sensor connections managed using certificate lifecycle automation. Create DNS integrations that allow sensors to fulfill DCV challenges to issue DV certificates to appliances and cloud providers.

Bulk actions on certificate lifecycle

In case of compromise or account consolidation, select more than one certificate to renew or reissue certificates in bulk.

  • Admin can select more than one certificate from Certificate section and trigger automation.

  • Admin can use APIs to bulk reissue certificates.

CertCentral Connector

With this release we are introducing the TLM connectors framework. This framework will help drive integrations in the future.

A new CertCentral connector is being added to:

  1. Issue private and public certificates. (Existing functionality will now use the connector instead of the CertCentral linking page.)

  2. Discover certificates. We can now pull certificate data from linked CertCentral account into TLM.

    1. Users can define what data should be imported (valid certificates, certificates expired in last x days, revoked certificates).

    2. This data can be assigned to a BU at import and also tagged with user defined labels. these labels will be available for search in the certificate views in a future release.

With introduction of connectors the “Link to CertCentral” feature is rolled into the CertCentral Connector.

Nota

The “Link to CertCentral” page is no longer available.

Domain control validation for OV/EV using ACME

Customers can now perform domain control validation (DCV) for pre-validated OV/EV organization Public TLS certificates from CertCentral using ACME.

With this release, clients can demonstrate domain control using either DNS (ACME DNS.01) or HTTP (ACME HTTP.01) methods for their OV/EV requests. This option is only available when other organization and extended validations are already completed.

Enhancements

ACME - Skip validation for prevalidated domains

TLM ACME server is no longer creating challenge requests for prevalidated domains during ACME flows.

This will simplify client-side workflows where a dummy validation needs to be hosted by the client. This in turn means that:

  1. Cert-manager: client can bypass challenge creation and validation step.

  2. Certbot: hosting of dummy challenge on port 80 (with requirement that port 80 not be used by any other service) is no longer needed.

CA Manager - Private certificate automation on appliances

Most appliances such as F5 and Citrix ADC require that an organization be specified when creating a CSR during automation. CA Manager - Private Server has been enhanced to accept an organization that can be used for such automation workflows.

Patch

Automation certificate profiles

Fixed an issue with the creation of automation certificate profiles.
