Unlocking the enhanced capabilities of Certman

Experience a more efficient certificate management, powered by Certman.

The new version of IBM® Workload Scheduler features extended Certman possibilities, including the delete command, which provides the capability to remove aliases from a keystore or trustore on a master domain manager, an agent (using the newly implemented agentscope keyword), or the Dynamic Workload Console.

Enhanced certificate management

The certman delete command enables the removal of aliases from keystores or trustores on various components (master domain manager, agents, Dynamic Workload Console). This streamlines certificate management tasks, saving administrators time and effort compared to potentially more complex manual procedures. Efficient certificate management translates to reduced operational overhead and faster response times for security-related tasks.

Improved security posture

The ability to specifically delete aliases, whether from the keystore, truststore, or both, on different IBM Workload Scheduler components (including agents via the agentscope keyword) provides more precise control over security certificates. This granular control enables you to maintain a cleaner and more secure certificate environment by removing unnecessary or outdated aliases, reducing potential security vulnerabilities.

Simplified compliance

By enabling the easy removal of unused or expired certificate aliases, the certman delete command helps you maintain a more organized and up-to-date certificate inventory. This simplified management contributes to better compliance with security policies and regulations, making audits smoother and less time-consuming.

By upgrading to the latest version of IBM Workload Scheduler, you can leverage these enhanced Certman capabilities to achieve more efficient, secure, and manageable certificate operations, ultimately benefiting from reduced operational costs, improved security, and better compliance.
