Platform components

Before using DigiCert® Software Trust 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 Software Trust.

Work with your account representative to:

Create your primary DigiCert account and organization.
Create users and enable API access to help manage the account.

Private CA

DigiCert® Private CA is an integrated PKI service for issuing private trust certificates directly from Software Trust.

To manage your organization's private certificates, set up private root and intermediate certificate authorities (CAs) in Private CA. Contact your account representative to get started.

CertCentral

DigiCert CertCentral® is a PKI platform for issuing different types of public trust certificates from DigiCert.

To use Software Trust 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.

Note

Once your CertCentral account is set up, you must Link Software Trust Manager and CertCentral.
