Managing digital certificates across enterprise systems is a critical yet complex challenge. Security teams must track, renew, and secure certificates across Windows, Linux, and macOS— each with different tools and trust stores. Without a centralized strategy, certificate management becomes inconsistent, fragmented, and prone to error.
At Revocent, we created CertAccord Enterprise to unify this process. It simplifies certificate management with powerful PKI automation, giving you complete visibility and control—no matter the platform.
What Makes Multi-Platform Environments So Complex
Hybrid IT environments are now the norm. You might manage:
-
Windows systems using Active Directory
-
Linux servers with OpenSSL-based tools
-
macOS endpoints that rely on Keychain Access
Each platform stores and manages digital credentials differently. Without a coordinated strategy, administrators end up writing custom scripts or relying on manual tracking. This leads to:
-
Inconsistent certificate policies
-
High risk of service outages
-
Limited oversight and visibility
-
Increased time spent on renewals and troubleshooting
Without proper tooling, staying on top of expirations or policy enforcement becomes unmanageable.
Why Automation Is the Key to Scalable Management
Manual renewal processes cannot keep pace with the growing number of digital certificates. That’s where automation comes in.
Revocent’s approach focuses on automation that works across all systems—not just one OS. CertAccord Enterprise enables your team to enforce consistent rules, renew certificates in the background, and avoid outages altogether.
Automation removes complexity while still allowing full control over security standards.
CertAccord Enterprise Unifies Certificate Management
CertAccord Enterprise is Revocent’s flagship solution for full-spectrum certificate management. It works on Windows, Linux, and macOS using lightweight agents that communicate securely with a central server.
These agents handle enrollment, renewal, and policy enforcement for all certificates on their respective systems. With CertAccord, PKI automation becomes seamless and reliable.
Key Capabilities:
-
Cross-platform agents installed on Linux, Windows, and macOS
-
Certificate-based agent authentication and registration
-
Centralized policy enforcement for key lengths, expiration, and algorithms
-
Automated certificate enrollment and transparent renewal
-
Integration with Microsoft Active Directory Certificate Services and internal PKI systems
By simplifying certificate management with PKI automation, CertAccord reduces risk and eliminates tedious, error-prone tasks.
Real-World Certificate Management in Action
Imagine a company managing:
-
Windows systems through Active Directory
-
Red Hat servers hosting applications
-
macOS devices for developers and executives
Before CertAccord Enterprise, this company used Windows auto-enrollment, manual processes and quick-fix shell scripts for Linux, and largely ignored macOS. Certificate expiration caused unplanned outages, and there was no central oversight.
After adopting CertAccord Enterprise:
-
All systems automatically enrolled in the correct certificate management policy
-
Certificates renewed automatically, without manual effort
-
Administrators gained full control via a unified CertAccord dashboard
-
PKI automation standardized the process across every device
CertAccord made certificate management more efficient, secure, and reliable.
