Certificate Store Application Operations

Certificate store application operations include creating or editing applications—including scheduling inventory for the application—and deleting applications.

Tip:  Where to find this in the Management Portal:
Locations → Certificate Stores → Applications Tab
Tip:  Previous versions of Keyfactor Command referred to the certificate store applications as containers.
Tip:  The following permissions (see Security Roles and Claims) are required to use this feature:

Certificate Stores > Modify
Certificate Stores > Read

To add or edit a certificate store application:

  1. On the Certificate Stores page, select the Applications tab.

    Figure 319: Certificate Store Applications

  2. On the Applications tab, click Add to create a new application, or click Edit from either the top or right-click menu to modify an existing one.

  3. In the New Application dialog, enter a Name for the application.

  4. In the Schedule fields, select an inventory frequency to apply as a default to certificate stores added to the application. The choices are:

    • Select Off to disable the inventory job.

    • If you select Immediate, the inventory will run within a few minutes of saving the record and will run only once. After this, the inventory schedule will be cleared.

    • If you select Interval, you can select a scan frequency of anywhere from every 1 minute to every 12 hours.

    • If you select Daily, you can set the time of day when the inventory should begin every day.

    • If you select Weekly, you can select the day, or days, of the week at a specified time.

    • If you select Monthly, you can select a day of the month (1st through 27th) at a specified time.

    • If you select Exactly Once, you can select a date and time at which to run the inventory job. After the job has run, the inventory schedule will be cleared.

  5. If desired, check the Overwrite Existing Schedules box. This option will apply the schedule from the application to any stores in the application, including those that already have a schedule, whenever the application schedule is updated.
  6. Click Save to save the application.

Deleting an application that contains certificate stores does not delete the associated certificate stores. The certificate stores will remain and be disassociated from the application.

Tip:  The following permissions (see Security Roles and Claims) are required to use this feature:

Certificate Stores > Modify
Certificate Stores > Read

To delete a certificate store application:

  1. On the Certificate Stores page, select the Applications tab.
  2. On the Applications tab, highlight the row in the certificate store applications grid of the application to delete and click Delete at the top of the grid or right-click the application in the grid and choose Delete from the right-click menu. Only one application may be deleted at a time.
  3. On the Confirm Operation alert, click OK to confirm or Cancel to cancel the operation.

The option to view or modify application permissions from the Certificate Store Applications tab has been deprecated and may be removed in a future release. Keyfactor recommends managing permissions from the Security Roles and Claims page, where additional system-wide settings are available.
