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.
  • For versions prior to Thames FP1 HF3, enable Issue Certificate function by going to (Menu) icon > Platform > Role. Search for the created administrator role and click the link. Switch to the Authorized functions tab, and select the Issue Certificate check box in the PKI module.

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.

To issue certificates:
  1. Go to (Menu) icon > PKI+ > Issue Certificate.

    The Issue Certificate page is displayed.

  2. Enter the following information:
