How it Works?


This module is used to display the list of all issued certificates. The Admin and Enterprise administrators can optionally view, download and revoke the certificates for any user considering the following rules:


  • An Admin RAO can see list of all issued certificates regardless of the enterprise affiliation
  • An Enterprise RAO can only see the list of certificates issued under his enterprise
  • Clicking the Request ID URL will show the complete detail of the request e.g.:
    • List of validation checks performed on the CSR before submitting the request to the CA
    • Download the CSR to manually evaluate it using a third party software
    • List of attributes of the CSR
    • Any other information that is required for the audit


The Advanced Search () is available inside the Search bar that allows an Admin to search the certificates using different parameters (even ranges). This feature is very useful to search a certificate from a large number of certificates.
