Certificate Group

  • Group similar certificates into logical groups
  • Groups can be based on business units or teams using certificates
  • Provide group owner details during configuration for easy tracking
  • Create hierarchy-based grouping to leverage alert escalation on OOB workflow.
  • Try and maintain the same policy across a hierarchy of groups. It is also allowed to set a different policy for each hierarchy.

The best way to manage certificates is to group certificates based on the following:

  • AD Security Group vs Department
  • Test vs Production
  • Internal vs External Hierarchy
  • Auto-renew vs Approved CSRs
  • Auto Push Updated Certificate vs Controlled Push Updated Certificate
