Account setup example

Trust Lifecycle Manager account setup example.

Basic account settings

From the Account > Settings menu:

Trust management environment

Set up your basic trust management environment:

  • Create business units to organize your digital trust assets.

  • Allocate seats to your business units to enroll and manage certificates in each.

Certificate issuance

Connect to your issuing certificate authorities (CAs) and create certificate profiles so you can request new certificates in Trust Lifecycle Manager:

  • Your private issuing CAs in DigiCert® CA Manager are always available and do not require additional connectivity.

  • Add connectors to integrate with and get certificates from issuing CAs outside of DigiCert ONE.

  • Create certificate profiles for different issuing CAs and certificate enrollment methods.

Discovery and imports

Discover and import your existing digital trust assets into Trust Lifecycle Manager to be monitored and managed there:

  • Use connectors to integrate with, discover, and import certificates from external systems.

  • Use the API to upload certificates from private issuing CAs outside of DigiCert ONE.

  • Set up network scans to find digital trust assets on your network and calculate security ratings for them.

Certificate lifecycle automation

Set up automation to help deploy and manage the lifecycles of your certificates:

  • Use the managed automation solution to manage the certificates installed on your web servers, network appliances, and cloud services directly from the Trust Lifecycle Manager web console.

  • Use third-party ACME clients to automate certificate management from the command-line interface of your web servers.

  • Use the API to integrate Trust Lifecycle Manager's management functions into your custom applications.
