POST Certificate Stores Server

The POST /CertificateStores/Server method is used to create a new server record for a certificate store in Keyfactor Command. This method returns HTTP 200 OK on a success with details of the newly created server record.

Tip:  The following permissions (see Security Overview) are required to use this feature:

CertificateStoreManagement: Modify

Permissions for certificate stores can be set at either the global or certificate store container level. Creating new certificate store server records requires permissions at the global level. See Container Permissions in the Keyfactor Command Reference Guide for more information about global vs container permissions.

Note:  This method has been deprecated and will be removed from the Keyfactor APIClosed A set of functions to allow creation of applications. Keyfactor offers the Keyfactor API, which allows third-party software to integrate with the advanced certificate enrollment and management features of Keyfactor Command. in a future release. This method is retained until that time for backwards compatibility. Continuing to use this endpointClosed An endpoint is a URL that enables the API to gain access to resources on a server. with the latest Keyfactor Command functionality could cause serious data issues.Certificate store server information is now found in the certificate store (see POST Certificate Stores). The Management Portal has additional functionality, such as being able to set different credentials for different stores on the same server, which use the new API endpoint.
Tip:  If a certificate store that requires a server is missing a server definition within the store record, the certificate store server created with this method will be used. If no credentials are supplied in the request and no certificate store server exists, an error is returned and the request fails.
