OpenXPKI
OpenXPKI is PKI and Trustcenter software for managing X.509v3 certificates in professional environments. Its customizable workflows cover requests, renewals, and revocations, with enrollment through SCEP, EST, SimpleCMC, ACME, and a REST-like API with OpenAPI support. One instance can host multiple PKI Realms, each with separate namespaces, profiles, workflows, and policies. The Ember.js web interface serves users, operators, and administrators in major browsers. Connectors reach flat files, LDAP, SQL databases, and web services; Enterprise Edition adds extensions for DigiCert, Sectigo, and SwissSign. Hardware Security Modules are supported through PKCS#11. YAML configuration can be tracked with revision control, and custom reporting workflows can produce downloadable CSVs. Community Edition is free and fully functional, with Debian 12 packages and mailing-list support. Enterprise Edition has packages for RHEL, SLES, and Ubuntu Server LTS; service and commercial support options are also listed, with SLAs available. The software was founded in 2009.
