System Integrations​

System integrations automate the deployment and management of certificates obtained from CAs to target systems. They establish secure connections to load balancers, firewalls, web servers, and application servers using an agent-less architecture to automatically perform certificate exchanges.

Key Features:

  • Agent-less architecture
  • Secure protocols (SSH, WinRM, HTTPS API)
  • Automatic rollback support
  • Post-deployment validation
  • Detailed audit logs
