Entrust Certificate Management Services
You have multiple Web servers that need SSL or have multiple, distributed SSL-enabled devices. Managing the purchase and administration of SSL certificates for these Web servers – sometimes in many different locations – can be time consuming and costly.
The Entrust Certificate Management Service features a self-service tool that helps streamline the procurement and administration of SSL certificates. Acting as a centrally managed, self-service system, the Certificate Management Service reduces administrative hassles and lessens the risk of inadvertent certificate expiration by allowing customers to synchronize and control the timing of SSL certificate expiration. The Certificate Management Service also enables administrators to "re-use" or "recycle" their SSL certificates to maximize usage and minimize costs.
If you need to manage Web servers on behalf of your clients, Entrust Certificate Management Service is the simplest solution and is tailored to Web hosters, outsourcers and ISPs. The service provides complete client-management functionality to easily manage the addition or removal of your client's domains and organizations. Once Entrust receives consent from the client, performs the required validation, and adds them to the account, you can seamlessly manage SSL certificates on their behalf.
Simplified enrollment
- enroll only once per service and request SSL certificates (for Web servers, VPN, routers and more) from one user account
- receive quick turnaround on certificates once the account and domain information is qualified
- align certificate expiration dates to suit resource availability and reduce the risk of inadvertent certificate expiration
Administrative delegation and management
- assign sub-pools of digital certificates to sub-administrators for more efficient management and greater cost-savings
- centrally track of and manage global SSL server certificate usage
- add or deactivate new administrators at different levels and view administrator information
Client Management (for outsourcers, Web hosters, ISPs)
- manage your customers' accounts and their domain names
- add new customers, and view, edit (add or remove domains) or deactivate existing customers accounts
On-demand services
- enhanced self-service capabilities
- fully automated processes
- request new services online such as additional certificates, domains and organization names
- allow other employees within your organization to request digital certificates from a Web page that the administrator can control and approve
Cost savings with certificate recycling
- pre-purchase your SSL certificates and recycle or re-use them for the length of the service and the number of servers that you are using
Audit and reporting tools
- the unique architecture of the service uses Entrust TruePass™, which strongly authenticates administrators and logs their activity in the account
- all the information regarding your digital certificates can be saved locally
- reporting tools enable administrators to select and export information as required
- full Boolean searches provide administrators easy access to the information they need; administrators can save their favorite searches for future use
Zero footprint admin client
- Entrust Certificate Management Service is Web-based; no downloading of client software is required
Choice and flexibility of certificate types
- choose between using Standard SSL Server Certificates, Advantage SSL Server Certificates, Unified Communications SSL Certificates (supports Microsoft Exchange 2007 and Microsoft Office Communications Server) or Extended Validation SSL Certificates
- New to the service are the Unified Communications and EV SSL Certificates
- EV SSL Certificates provide all the benefits of the Advantage SSL Certificates but follow the new standards for verification determined by the CA/Browser Forum — providing Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 users with the new, more prominent trust indicators (green address bar, gold padlock and alternating display of organization name and certificate issuer).
- Unified Communications SSL Certificates (UCC) enable security for the diverse communications protocols in new servers like Microsoft Exchange 2007 and Microsoft Office Communications Server (formerly Live Communications Server).
Strong verification process
- Entrust performs rigorous validation of the organizations to which it provides SSL server certificates
- Entrust has earned the WebTrust for Certification Authorities (CA) Seal of Assurance from the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) and the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) every year since 2001
