Issue Certificates

Note: This module is available starting from the Thames HF2 (2024.0.2.0) release for those using AppViewX PKIaaS Native CA for PKI initialization.

Once you have created a template, you can issue certificates by generating a Certificate Authority (CA) and signing a digital certificate for an entity (such as a user, device, server, or application). This certificate serves as proof of identity and facilitates secure communication, authentication, and encryption in a PKI-enabled system.
