Reviewing Existing Certificates

This module allows you to view all certificates--with details pertaining to each one--in descending order from the most recently created. The section for encryption certificates is listed first, followed by the signing certificates section:  

1. Friendly name of certificate
2. Date certificate was added
3. Who added the certificate
4. Validation period of certificate 
5. Option to delete either certificate type, or modify encryption certificates by changing the assigned name. (Note that signing certificates cannot be modified once created.) A certificate can only be deleted if it is not currently in use.

Creating New Encryption Certificates

Encryption certificates are generated by the Engagement Rx system and are simple to create. Select the "ADD CERTIFICATE" button in the encryption certificate section:  

1. Click the ADD CERTIFICATE button
2. Enter the name you want to call the certificate 
3. Click ADD CERTIFICATE

And that's it--a new encryption certificate is now created and will appear at the top of the list with associated details. New certificates are valid for five years from the date of creation.

Creating New Signing Certificates

Signing certificates are provided by the client, who is the Identity Provider (IdP). Select the "ADD CERTIFICATE" button in the signing certificate section:

1. Enter the name you want to call the certificate
2. Paste the public key into the field
3. Select "ADD CERTIFICATE"
