The pending certificate grid includes these fields:
- Request Time: The date and time the CSR
A CSR or certificate signing request is a block of encoded text that is submitted to a CA when enrolling for a certificate. When you generate a CSR within Keyfactor Command, the matching private key for it is stored in Keyfactor Command in encrypted format and will be married with the certificate once returned from the CA. request was submitted in Keyfactor Command. - CSR Subject: The subject name of the CSR, including key size
The key size or key length is the number of bits in a key used by a cryptographic algorithm., key type
The key type identifies the type of key to create when creating a symmetric or asymmetric key. It references the signing algorithm and often key size (e.g. AES-256, RSA-2048, Ed25519)., and SANs, if applicable.
The CSRs can be sorted by clicking on the Request Time column header in the results grid. Click the column header again to reverse the sort order. The results grid columns can be arranged in any order desired by click-holding and dragging the header of the column you wish to move. The column widths may also be adjusted by click-holding and dragging the line separating two column headers.
You can also find Help in the Navigator
The Navigator is the Keyfactor Command left-hand (newer versions) or top (older versions) navigation menu. Certificate collections and reports can be configured to be added to the menu using user-defined Show in Navigator settings.. From here you can choose to open either the Keyfactor Software & Documentation Portal at the home page or the Keyfactor API Endpoint Utility.
Keyfactor provides two sets of documentation: the On-Premises Documentation Suite and the Managed Services Documentation Suite. Which documentation set is accessed is determined by the Application Settings: On-Prem Documentation setting (see Application Settings: Console Tab).
