PKIaaS Management Overview

Prerequisites

  1. Select the data center to establish connection with PKIaaS using the Settings page. This is mandatory for on-premise deployments. See Settings.

  2. Initialize PKI+ by contacting [email protected].

  3. Onboard at least two custodians before creating CA hierarchy. You can complete the addition of custodians by going to Menu > PKI+ > Custodian Management.
    Note: No CA action is possible until at least two active custodians are in the system.
From the PKI+ menu, you can access:

  • CA Inventory: Create root CAs and subordinate CAs and enroll them to the AppViewX PKIaaS certificate authority.

  • Custodian Management: Custodians are responsible for approving any action performed in PKI+. You can add or delete custodians from this page.

    On completing custodian onboarding, you can add your root CAs and subordinate CAs to PKI+.

  • Settings: Use this page to configure PKI+ settings.

  • Validation Authority: Certificate authorities use Certificate Revocation List (CRL) or Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) to obtain the revocation status of x.509 digital certificates.
