SSL.com Certificate Lifecycle Management
SSL.com Certificate Lifecycle Management supplies SSL.com certificates for use inside an existing certificate-lifecycle platform or a custom workflow. It acts as the Certificate Authority rather than a complete CLM system. An SSL.com account lists certificates issued through that account, supports downloading, renewal, reissue, and individual or bulk revocation, and sends email alerts before expiry. ACME can automate issuance and renewal. Venafi TPP users can connect through the Adaptable Driver for SSL/TLS, client-authentication, S/MIME, and code-signing certificates. The AnyCA Gateway REST plugin connects with Keyfactor Command 12.3 and later for issuing, revoking, and synchronizing certificates. Two REST/JSON APIs are available, with the Developer Portal API recommended for new integrations. Native network-wide discovery, multi-CA inventory, approval workflows, custom request forms, and fleet-wide RBAC are not provided. The service runs in the cloud and supports certificate profiles, SCEP, EST, HSM integration, cloud signing, trusted timestamping, and CI/CD signing.
