Linux (and cross platform) Certify Certificate Management features?

[webprofusion]

Hi,

We are currently working on delivering a version of Certify The Web which works on Linux and provides some optional features for centralized certificate management. At this very moment the (web and desktop) UI looks like this:

For users who have Linux in their environment:

• what kind of features might you be looking for?
• how do you prefer to do user authentication (login as OS user or login using some other federation authentication)?
• how would you see yourself using a system like this (assuming it can have any feature you want?)

• what kind of features might you be looking for?
  -Parity with the windows version
  -Ability to run a script prior to and after certificate renewal (say to automate firewall rules or something)
• how do you prefer to do user authentication (login as OS user or login using some other federation authentication)?
  -More options the better, most likely a service account I would think to handle these operations
• how would you see yourself using a system like this (assuming it can have any feature you want?)
  -The ideal world is not having to worry about this at all so our happy little robots can do the thing for us

Thanks Brandon! I think we’ve got most of those things covered, we’re working on feature parity with the windows UI, the actual work is done by our service which is mostly the same on Linux as it is on Windows, so the majority of features are the same. We’re looking at how to include powershell integration but it will have shell script tasks as well.

For authentication, that was more around how would end users sign into the system to manage it, so how to identify the user. The service itself will likely be running under systemd etc as it’s own user.
