Certificate Manager is an Avaya Common Services service that runs in a cluster and manages the identity and trust certificates for Cluster Control Manager and for the services that are deployed in the cluster.

When Avaya Common Services is deployed, it automatically installs Certificate Manager. When other services are deployed, the service chart provides Certificate Manager with the necessary information to process and create trusted stores and identity certificates.

In addition, Certificate Manager:

• Imports third-party certificates.

• Securely stores certificates generated by Certificate Manager or third-party Certificate Authorities (CAs).

• Adds, removes, and replaces certificates in a trusted store.

• Provides its CA for download to be installed on an external device's trusted store.

• Monitors certificates for expiration.

  Certificate Manager regenerates certificates that are about to expire. It also raises alarms when third-party certificates have expired or are about to expire.
