Microsoft AD CS integration with Certificate Manager - SaaS¶

Many organizations use Microsoft Active Directory Certificate Services (AD CS) to issue internally-trusted certificates. Connecting Microsoft AD CS to Certificate Manager - SaaS provides comprehensive visibility and automation. Certificate Manager - SaaS can provide visibility to the certificates issued by Microsoft AD CS, and it can also automate certificate issuance through Microsoft AD CS.

How it works¶

Microsoft AD CS connects to Certificate Manager - SaaS using a VSatellite and a VSatellite Worker.

The VSatellite is installed on a Linux server, and it creates the connection point between your organization's internal network and Certificate Manager - SaaS.

The VSatellite Worker is the connection point between the VSatellite to your Microsoft AD CS server.
