SSL.com Certificate Lifecycle Management
Houston, Texas, United States
What it is
SSL.com Certificate Lifecycle Management provides SSL.com certificates as a Certificate Authority for use with an existing CLM platform or custom workflow; it is not a full CLM platform itself. An SSL.com account lets customers view and download certificates issued through that account, renew or reissue them, revoke them individually or in bulk, and receive automated email expiry alerts. ACME can automate certificate issuance and renewal. For Venafi TPP users, SSL.com’s Adaptable Driver supports certificate requests, issuance, renewal and revocation across SSL/TLS, client authentication, S/MIME and code signing. Its AnyCA Gateway REST plugin supports issuing, revoking and synchronizing certificates with Keyfactor Command v12.3 and later. Two REST/JSON APIs support lifecycle operations, with the Developer Portal API recommended for new integrations. The account view covers SSL.com-issued certificates, not a network-wide inventory. Native network-wide discovery, multi-CA inventory, approval workflows, custom request forms and fleet-wide RBAC are not provided. SSL.com was founded in 2002 and is based in Houston, Texas.

The verdict
