Automate post-deployment actions after every certificate renewal

Renewing and deploying a certificate is only half the job. The services and applications relying on that certificate still need to be restarted or reconfigured before the new certificate actually takes effect, and doing that manually across a large infrastructure is slow, inconsistent, and prone to errors.

Key Manager Plus, as part of its zero-touch PKI approach, helps close the loop on deployment by automatically triggering the scripts, executables, and service restarts you define, so every certificate renewal is complete.

Run scripts automatically after deployment

Once a certificate is deployed, Key Manager Plus immediately executes any script or executable you specify on the target server. Whether it's a shell script to reload a web server configuration, a PowerShell script to update a configuration file, or a custom executable your team has built into your deployment workflow, Key Manager Plus triggers it automatically without waiting for manual intervention.

Automate service restarts

A service restart is the most common step to be skipped or delayed after a certificate deployment, and a deployment without a restart means the old certificate is still in use. Key Manager Plus lets you configure which services to restart on each target server, and it executes those restarts automatically as part of the deployment workflow, so the certificate is live the moment the deployment is confirmed.

Customize actions for target servers

GNot every server needs the same post-deployment steps. Key Manager Plus lets you define distinct action sequences for individual servers or groups of servers, so an Apache server on Linux and an IIS server on Windows can each follow their own set of actions without any manual coordination from your team.

Get instant alerts

If a script fails or a service restart doesn't complete as expected, Key Manager Plus sends an immediate notification so your team can step in before the issue worsens. Every failed action is flagged with details on which server it occurred on, which action triggered the error, and what the failure output was, so you're not hunting for context when it matters most.

Audit every post-deployment action

Every script execution and service restart is logged with a detailed record of what ran on which server at what time and whether it succeeded. This gives your team full visibility into the post-deployment phase of every certificate life cycle and provides auditors with a clear trail from the deployment to the service activation.
