PKIaaS Management Overview

Before you Begin

  1. Select the data center to establish connection with PKIaaS using the Settings page. See Settings.
  2. Onboard at least two custodians before creating CA hierarchy. You can complete the addition of custodians by going to Menu > PKI+ > Custodian Management.
    Note: There must be at least two active custodians in the system before you can perform any action on the certificate authority.
From the PKI+ menu, you can access:
  • Get Started: Use this page to configure SMTP server, onboard custodians, create PKI CA, and set up Cloud Connector to enable connectivity to the Enterprise's private network.
  • Dashboard: This page gives a quick summary of all the root and subordinate CAs created via AppViewX PKIaaS certificate authority.
  • 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.
