DigiCert PKI Platform Reviews

They provide a digital certificate management solution tailored to the lifecycle management needs of banks. From the customer's perspective, their primary requirement is a solution for digital certificate management. 

This encompasses both internal and external certificate management needs. Currently, they rely on Microsoft's Active Directory Certificate Services (ADCS) for certificate management, but they are exploring alternatives for enhanced functionality. The focus is on the efficient management of certificates, whether for local purposes or to facilitate secure communication for external entities.

I emphasize the importance of automation in Wi-Fi management, particularly in tasks like certificate renewal. The requirement extends to the ability to generate new certificates from a local server within the data center. There is a need to establish a new server for local certificate issuance which highlights the desire for automation in the deployment process. The emphasis lies on leveraging automated solutions to streamline these operations effectively.

We primarily use this product to maintain the organization's security. Using the basic details for the end-user, the certificate signing requests were created and PKI servers (sub-ca) would issue the certificate based on CSR. That certificate would then be used further for communications based on SSL or the identity of that end-user.

Moreover, the sub-ca and root-ca automation can be done using PowerShell, Ansible, and shell scripting.

The public key infrastructure certificates issued by the PKI servers helped me set up good client-server authentic communications.
