Once the installation and configuration is complete, only a few configuration tasks remain before Keyfactor Command will be up and running at a basic level. This section details the basic post-install configuration steps that need to be completed to get Keyfactor Command up and running. See the Keyfactor Command Reference Guide for more advanced configuration guidance. See the separate installation guides for client components such as the Keyfactor Universal Orchestrator
The Keyfactor Universal Orchestrator, one of Keyfactor's suite of orchestrators, is used to interact with servers and devices for certificate management, run SSL discovery and management tasks, and manage synchronization of certificate authorities in remote forests. With the addition of custom extensions, it can provide certificate management capabilities on a variety of platforms and devices (e.g. Amazon Web Services (AWS) resources, Citrix\NetScaler devices, F5 devices, IIS stores, JKS keystores, PEM stores, and PKCS#12 stores) and execute tasks outside the standard list of certificate management functions. It runs on either Windows or Linux servers or Linux containers. and Keyfactor CA A certificate authority (CA) is an entity that issues digital certificates. Within Keyfactor Command, a CA may be a Microsoft CA or a Keyfactor gateway to a cloud-based or remote CA. Gateways.

- External Certificate Synchronization with SSL Discovery and Certificate Stores
- Managing SSH Keys (installations on Windows under IIS only)
