- Provision keys and certificates including private key and CSR generation, then installation onto the device
- Bind to SSL profiles by associating certificates with SSL Client, Server, and Proxy profiles
SOLUTION OVERVIEW
IBM DataPower Gateway is a security and integration gateway that protects and manages APIs, web services, mobile, B2B, and cloud workloads. Using a DataPower application object configured in Venafi, Certificate Manager, Self-Hosted monitors, enrolls, and provisions certificates and keys on connected appliances. During provisioning it generates the private key and CSR, retrieves the certificate from the CA, installs both on the device, creates Identification and Validation Credential objects, and associates the certificate with the configured SSL Client, Server, or Proxy profiles. Certificates can also be provisioned into the DataPower trust store, and renewed manually or automatically ahead of expiration to help prevent outages caused by expired certificates.
