The Application Management section provides a framework to organize your signing certificates by application project, enforce granular access controls, and manage the teams responsible for signing.
When you navigate to this section, you will see a list of all applications managed within the CodeSign Secure portal. It provides an overview of each application's details such as Application Name, Application Owner, Status, its description, and the created date.
You create a new application by clicking the Add New Application button. The creation process is divided into two steps: Application Detail and Team Detail.
1. Application Detail
This step captures the essential metadata about the application project
Application Name: A unique, mandatory name for the application.
Business Unit: The internal department or group to which the application belongs (e.g., Sales).
Artifact Types: The specific file extensions this application generates and signs (e.g., exe, dll, jar).
Application Owner: The user who creates the application. The creator is the application’s single owner.
Application Description: A detailed description of the application's purpose.
2. Team Detail
This step is where you define, create, manage teams and mapping them to specific signing certificates.
Click the Add Mapping button to link a certificate to a team
Certificate: Select the specific certificate/key pair from your inventory.
Note: It will only show those certificates in the dropdown which have an environment mapped to them, that can be updated from Keys and Certificates section.
Teams: Select one or more pre-existing teams authorized to use this certificate for signing.
Only members of the mapped teams will be allowed to execute a signing request using the designated certificate.
You can create and manage the membership of your teams directly from this screen using the two utility buttons:
Create Team: Opens a pop-up window where you can:
Manage Team: Opens a pop-up window to allow you to select an existing team and Update its membership (add or remove users).
Once all certificate and team mappings are complete, click Finish to activate the application.
By right-clicking on any application entry, you can perform the following operations:
View Details: Opens a pop-up window to display all application metadata, including the mapped certificates and their respective teams and members.
Edit Application: Opens the pop-up to update and modify the application details, certificate mappings, team mappings and team member management.
Activate/Deactivate Application: Changes the application’s Status from Active to Inactive or vice versa, preventing its use for future signing operations.
