EST

EST stands for Enrollment over Secure Transport, it is a certificate management protocol targeting Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) clients which require digital certificates to prove their authenticity. EST also helps the clients in acquiring associated CA certificates.

  • There should be an agent(avx_vendor_cert_est_agent) up and running for EST in AppViewX.
  • This EST plugin can either be in HTTPS or HTTP, but it needs a gateway which supports client certificate authentication running in order to communicate with the client.
  • It is highly recommended to OFF the 'Approval Required' flag in Menu -> Inventory -> Certificate -> Policy page.
  • A valid agent settings should be available in Menu -> Inventory -> Certificate -> Settings.
