Finding certificates in the certificate inventory

As your environment grows, the certificate inventory can contain thousands of certificates. To help you locate specific certificates, Next-Gen Trust Security provides search, filtering, and summary tools.
Open the certificate inventory by going to Inventory > Certificates. At the top of the page, you can access the Summary View dashboard. You can also use search, predefined filters, or custom filters to find certificates.

Using the Summary View dashboard

The Summary View dashboard provides an overview of certificate metrics based on your access level. All users can view the dashboard, but the data displayed is limited by role-based access controls (RBAC).
Administrators see metrics across the full inventory, while other users see only certificates they are permitted to access.
Select any of the following tiles to filter the inventory:
  • Total certificates
  • Expired certificates
  • Revoked certificates
  • Expiring in 15 days
  • Not assigned to applications
Note: You can select more than one tile at a time to further refine the results.

Using search and filter options

Use the free-text search box or filters to locate certificates in the inventory. You can search by certificate name, domain, issuing certificate authority, and other attributes. Filters allow you to narrow results by criteria such as expiration date, revocation status, or assignment.

Using predefined filters

Next-Gen Trust Security includes several predefined filters. The default view is All certificates. To apply a predefined filter, open the filter dropdown and select one of the available options.
Examples include:
  • My certificates: Displays only certificates you own.
  • Retired certificates: Displays only retired certificates, which can help you locate certificates that may need to be recovered.

Using custom filters

Select Filters to create more targeted queries using one or more criteria.
Use the Column, Operator, and Value fields to define each filter. You can select Add Filter to apply multiple filters at the same time.

Filtering for wildcard certificates

A wildcard certificate secures multiple subdomains under a single primary domain. The wildcard character (*) appears in the certificate’s domain name.
For example, *.example.com secures:
  • payment.example.com
  • contact.example.com
  • login-secure.example.com
  • www.example.com
To filter for wildcard certificates:
  1. Select Certificate Name as the column.
  2. Choose contains as the operator.
  3. Enter an asterisk (*) as the value.
