Managing system certificates

System certificates include server certificates and trusted certificates of the system peripherals (for example, LDAP). You can manage system certificates by using the System Certificates page and dedicated REST services.

System certificates are classified into two categories:
Server certificates
Server certificates are the IBM® Security Guardium® Key Lifecycle Manager server certificates that are used to access the graphical user interface, Swagger UI, REST APIs, and key servers.
Server certificates are also used for establishing secure communication between IBM Security Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager and EKMF Web.
Trusted certificates
Trusted certificates are the certificates of system peripherals such as LDAP server, notification email server, OIDC server, syslog server, EKMF Web, and database.
These certificates are imported and trusted in the IBM Security Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager server to set up secure communication between the server and the system peripheral.
