Configuring Certificate Settings

Configuring Password Vault

The password vault option is used to store all certificate passwords of the selected ADC devices. All the password-protected certificates that are discovered, will be decrypted and pushed to the discovery grid in the AppViewX Inventory. This happens only if passwords are matched with passwords that are stored in the vault.

Before you Begin

The prerequisites for configuring the Password Vault in AppViewX as are follows:
  • A valid certificate password for password-protected certificates to decrypt.
  1. Go to (Menu) > CERT+ > ADMINISTRATION and click Password Vault.
  2. On the screen that is displayed, enter an Identity Name of the password you want to add in the vault.
  3. From the Device Name dropdown list, select the ADC device whose password-protected certificate details you want to store.
  4. In the File Name field, enter a certificate file name to help users identify it.
  5. In the Password field, enter the password that is associated with the certificate.
  6. Click Save.
  7. To import a file (in XLS or CSV format) with a list of all certificate passwords, on the top-right corner, click Import. This option is used to store the certificate passwords directly in the vault instead of adding them manually.
  8. Click Export Password on the top-right to export all stored certificate passwords from the vault as a zip file to your computer.
  9. To modify the existing details, Click Edit.
  10. To update the password, click Update.
  11. To delete the password details, click Delete.
    Note: The WindowsCertificateStore identity name will be used to parse certificates discovered from the Windows certificate store. Edit and delete actions are not allowed.

Password mismatch or password unavailable in the vault for the password-protected certificates that are discovered will be under the password-protected certificates section.
