Trusted Certificates

Prev Next

The Trusted Certificate store is a means of adding certificates from third party systems to the appliances in the Collective. These certificates are subsequently used in order to establish secure connections to these third party systems. All Trusted Certificates are monitored and when any are approaching their expiration, the Controller will issue a warning in the dashboard 30 days prior.

NOTE

Adding or changing a certificate requires rebooting all appliances to take effect.

This feature supports:

  • Identity providers

  • Name resolvers

  • API calls to third party systems

  • Log forwarding

NOTE

Trusted Certificates cannot be used to configure secure log transfer via RSYSLOG which still requires manual configuration on both ends.

Use the Trusted Certificates form to:

  • View all the Trusted Certificates you have configured in the Collective.

  • Upload new Trusted Certificates.

  • Perform actions using the action buttons provided (See below).

Action Buttons

Action buttons are accessed by clicking the three dots to the right of each line item in the table or from the <Actions> button within the item. They are contextual, changing depending on the type of item and the state of the item.

  • Download Certificate. Downloads the certificate.
