Premium Edition
Managing large-scale SSL Web server environments with staggered Web server certificate lifecycles can be a huge challenge for any organization. Administrators must track the multitude of certificate expiry dates and ensure all renewals are carried out on time, otherwise they risk service downtime to their end users.
The Entrust Certificate Management Service - Premium edition, featuring the Entrust Certificate Manager, fully automates the complete lifecycle management of SSL Web server certificates - from request, to implementation, to renewal or revocation. This helps reduce operating costs, simplify certificate management, and frees staff to concentrate on other critical IT requirements.
Simplified enrollment
- enroll only once per service and request digital certificates from one user account
- receive quick turnaround on certificates once the account and domain information is qualified
'Hands free' certificate lifecycle administration
- fully automated certificate request, download and installation
- automatic detection and replacement of expired certificates to maintain service continuity. Manual renewals can also be performed at any time
Flexible policy control
- align certificate expiration dates as per your organization's renewal policies
- establish and configure renewal programs that best reflect the needs of your organization, such as tailoring how automated processes will behave, or when manual approvals are required
Administrative delegation
- assign sub-pools of digital certificates to sub-administrators for more efficient management and potentially greater cost savings
- keep track of and manage SSL Server Certificate activity at all levels using a central system
On-demand services
- enhanced self-service capabilities
- request new services - such as additional certificates, domains and organization names - online
- allow other employees within your organization to request digital certificates from a Web page in which you control and approve
Choice and flexibility of certificate types
- choose between using Standard SSL Server Certificates or Mutual SSL Server Certificates
- Mutual Certificates create a secure communications "pipe" between the Web server, the browser and other servers, to support the authentication of both the Web server and the customer
Cost savings
- Automated capabilities reduce traditional management costs associated with manually requesting, deploying and renewing multiple certificates
- pre-purchase your digital certificates and recycle or re-use them over the number of servers and for the duration of the service subscribed
- deploy a certificate on a new server after deactivating that certificate on another server, thereby minimizing the amount of digital certificates you need to acquire
Easy access
- Entrust Certificate Manager is Web-based, and can be accessed from anywhere and at anytime
- unlike other SSL Certificate services, no downloading of client software is required
Workflow and audit capability
- Web-based reporting enable administrators to monitor certificate lifecycle management 'on the fly'
