Setting certificate configuration

The Certificates feature monitors the state of certificates on managed computers and the security on the repository. You can enable or disable certificate monitoring, and send a notification email when the state of a certificate changes.

Certificate protection validates that the certificate details stored by Active Administrator® match the details of the certificate installed on the computer. When this feature is enabled, any differences found are reported as broken certificates and email notifications are sent to the recipients on the certificate email list.

To make changes to certificates in the repository, users and groups must be granted the modify permission on the Certificate Repository folder from within Active Administrator. You can check the security and send notifications if the modify permission is altered with system-provided tools.

Configuring certification authority

When searching for Certificate Authority (CA) certificates, you can employ the search cache instead of searching Active Directory. You can choose to cache an entire forest to maximize the speed of retrieving results, or you can choose to cache only found objects in Active Directory to quickly retrieve the object again from the cache for a certain amount of time.

To configure certificate authority
1
Select Configuration | Certificate Configuration.
2
Click Certificate Authority.

Option

Description

Full

The entire forest (users and computers with CA certificates) is cached in memory.

Set the cache refresh rate. By default, the cache is refreshed every 20 minutes.

Minimal

Only objects that are found during the search are cached. If you search for the object again, the object is found first in the cache. The object is removed from the cache after 20 minutes.
