Integration with Sectigo Certificate Manager

Password Manager Pro integrates with Sectigo Certificate Manager (SCM), a PKI management platform that specializes in managing SSL/TLS certificates, SSH keys, and various other digital identities. The integration leverages SCM's API and allows Password Manager Pro to act as a centralized platform where you can import and manage SSL/TLS certificates from the SCM. Automate the lifecycle management of these certificates through diverse operations that are supported by the integration.

In this document, you will learn the steps to manage the lifecycle of SSL/TLS certificates issued by the SCM, which includes importing existing orders, creating new certificate requests, deployment, and renewal of certificates.

1. Set up Sectigo Certificate Manager Details in Password Manager Pro
2. Import Existing Orders
3. Create a New Certificate Order
4. Issue Certificates
5. Renew, Reissue, Revoke, and Delete Certificates

1. Set up Sectigo Certificate Manager Details in Password Manager Pro

To begin managing SSL certificates issued by Sectigo from Password Manager Pro, you must add your SCM account in Password Manager Pro and link your unique Customer URI. If you do not have an SCM account, contact the Sectigo team to sign up and get your login credentials and the Customer URI. If you have an SCM account, follow the below steps to link your account with Password Manager Pro and begin the integration process.

1. Log in to the Password Manager Pro web interface, navigate to Certificates >> Sectigo and click Manage.
   
2. Under Account, enter your SCM User Name, Password, your unique Customer URI and click Save. This is a one-time operation. You can find your Customer URI suffixed in the SCM login URL as shown below:
   
3. The SCM account details are saved and it is now successfully linked to your Password Manager Pro account.

Important Notes:

1. For this integration to work as expected, the SCM account you are using must have the MRAO Admin user role in the Sectigo portal.
2. The user profile under the SCM account you are using must contain pre-validated domains and organizations. To send certificate requests, Password Manager Pro fetches the existing domains, organizations, and certificate profiles from the SCM. Since the SCM issues certificates based on certificate profiles and pre-validated domains, this step is vital to ensure success of the integration.

4. Once the integration is complete, all the organizations, domains, and certificate profiles listed in your SCM account will be imported into Password Manager Pro and displayed under individual tabs, along with their ID and status. This information is updated once a week through an automated schedule. To manually sync your account, click the Sync option available under each tab.
   

2. Import Existing Orders

If you have an active SCM account, you likely have existing certificate orders that can be managed using the Sectigo Certificate Manager. Apart from creating new certificate orders, you can also import all the existing orders from the SCM portal and manage them from the Password Manager Pro interface.

1. Navigate to the Certificates >> Sectigo tab in Password Manager Pro.
2. Click More >> Import Existing Orders from the top menu.
   
3. Select the required option and click Import.
4. All the existing certificate orders associated with your SCM account are imported into Password Manager Pro.

3. Create a New Certificate Order

Once you have successfully linked your SCM account with Password Manager Pro, you can start creating new certificate orders directly from Password Manager Pro. To place a new certificate order:

1. Navigate to the Certificates >> Sectigo tab and click Order Certificate.
2. In the window that opens, enter the following attributes: Common Name, SAN, Organization, Certificate Profile, Term, Key Algorithm, Key Size, Keystore Type, Keystore Password, Comments, and External Requester Emails.
   
3. Ensure that you have selected the appropriate Certificate Profile. Also, ensure that the comment does not exceed 1024 characters.
4. Verify your details and click Create.

Note: If you find any mismatch in the SCM-related details that are displayed here, please verify the details in the Sectigo portal and then perform a manual sync under Sectigo >> Manage in the Password Manager Pro interface to refresh the details.

4. Issue Certificates

1. Once a certificate order is successfully created, you can view it under the Certificates >> Sectigo tab with its status displayed to the right.
2. To track the certificate availability for an order, select the order and click Check Order Status from the top menu.
   
3. Once a certificate is issued, it is fetched and added to the Password Manager Pro certificate repository. You will be able to view it under Certificates >> Certificates.
4. Typically, the status of your certificate orders is checked automatically every day through a schedule. This way, whenever a certificate is available, it is fetched and added to Password Manager Pro certificate repository.

Note: Please note that the certificates that are issued are automatically added to Password Manager Pro only if you have the required license count. If not, you must renew your Password Manager Pro license before attempting to import any certificates.

5. Renew, Reissue, Revoke, and Delete Certificates

You can renew, revoke, delete or request reissue for certificates or cancel certificate orders from Password Manager Pro.

5.1 Renew a Certificate

1. Navigate to Certificates >> Sectigo.
2. Select the required certificate and click Renew Certificate from the top menu.
3. Upon successful validation, the certificate is issued and will be automatically added to the Password Manager Pro certificate repository.
   

5.2 Reissue a Certificate

1. Navigate to Certificates >> Sectigo.
2. Select the required certificate and click Reissue Certificate from the top menu.
3. Upon successful validation, the certificate is issued and will be automatically added to the Password Manager Pro certificate repository.

5.3 Revoke a Certificate

1. Navigate to the Certificates >> Sectigo tab.
2. Select the required certificate and click More >> Revoke Certificate from the top menu.
3. The certificate is revoked. Go to the Certificates >> Certificates tab and delete the certificate to remove it from the Password Manager Pro repository.

5.4 Delete a Certificate

1. Navigate to the Certificates >> Sectigo tab.
2. Select the required order and click More >> Delete from the top menu.
3. The certificate request is deleted from Password Manager Pro.

Note: Please note that using the Delete option only removes the certificate from the Password Manager Pro interface, and you can no longer manage it from the product. However, it does not delete the certificate request from the SCM–the certificate can still be viewed and managed from the SCM portal.
