Certificate Explorer provides the X.509 certificate management
functions of SecretAgent® 5 for Windows. Using an intuitive
folder-based paradigm for its user interface, Certificate Explorer
allows you to store certificates in, and retrieve them from, one
or more databases on your own local machine or on a shared network
server. It's LDAP support provides access to remote databases and
ActiveDirectory certificate stores. Static group and parametrized
LDAP queries are supported.
Certificate Explorer allows SecretAgent to work with, or without,
a formal PKI. Full certifcate chain validation and CRL checking
is provided in a manner compliant with RFC3280. CRLs may be automatically
updated by polling a remote server.
Create self-signed certificates and requests
Certificate Explorer supports the generation of PKCS#10
certificate requests. Requesting a certificate requires the
completion of a simple, user friendly wizard which can optionally
send the request to a CA or security officer immediately after generation.
The request is stored in a local certificate folder so that's public
key can be used until the actual certificate is issued and received
from the CA; at that point the request can be replaced by the certificate.
Certificate Explorer also generates self-signed certificates that
can be used if a formal PKI is not available. Self-signed
certificates allow users to begin using data security products (such
as SecretAgent 5) immediately.
Importing, exporting, viewing, and distributing certificates
Certificate Explorer simplifies many certificate management
fucntions. Users can import and export keys in a wide variety
of certificates formats. The latest version even allows you to export
your X.509 RSA certificate as an OpenPGP V4 key that any PGP 6/7/8
user can use to encrypt files.
To view a certificate, simply right click on it and select Properties
in the pop-up context menu.
Certificates stored in folders can be exchanged easily with others
on the network. Just open the certificate folder that contains
the certificate(s) you are looking for and drag those certificates
to your own certificate explorer.
