Template Management

Template Management is a key feature that allows for the organization and management of certificate templates within your environment. It provides a structured way to categorize templates into specific sections within the inventory, making it easier to locate, track, and apply the right templates when needed.

Users can assign templates to specific categories, ensuring better control over certificate issuance. The Switch Templates tab enables easy movement of templates between available and present lists, providing flexibility in template management. The Exclusion List helps administrators ignore specific templates associated with certain CAs, reducing clutter and simplifying oversight. This structured approach improves security, enhances compliance, and optimizes the lifecycle management of certificates.

Additionally, there is a dedicated section for mapping templates to alert notifications. Alerts are only sent for templates selected in this section. For example, if the administrator adds Web Server to the alerting section, email alerts will be triggered only for that template. The Certificate Template tab lets you customize your own templates for specific CAs.
