The operational problem

Make the certificate workflow match the estate you actually run.

Enterprise applications often have certificate procedures that cannot be reduced to copying a PEM file and reloading a web server. SSLNexus supports application-aware deployment so the last mile can be automated without bypassing lifecycle policy.

Application target

Represent SAP BI as a managed deployment destination.

Lifecycle

Keep issuance, deployment and renewal together.

Audit

Record certificate changes in the same operational history.

Workflow

From visibility to a repeatable operating process.

01Configure the application target
02Associate the managed certificate
03Validate deployment prerequisites
04Renew through the configured CA
05Run the SAP BI deployment workflow
06Verify service state and retain the audit record
Why SSLNexus

Customer-controlled certificate operations.

SSLNexus is installed into customer infrastructure and is designed to keep certificate operations, target access and private-key custody under customer control. The platform coordinates lifecycle work without requiring the estate to be rebuilt around a vendor-hosted key store.

  • Provider-neutral certificate lifecycle management.
  • Private keys remain inside customer-controlled infrastructure.
  • Delegated operational roles instead of one all-powerful administrator model.
  • Audit history, reports and verification stay attached to the certificate lifecycle.
Questions

Common questions

Does SSLNexus only automate web servers?

No. Application-aware workflows exist specifically for systems where generic web-server deployment is not sufficient.

Can custom application steps be added?

Yes. Deployment plugins are the extension point for customer-specific applications and runbooks.

Can SAP BI use the same CA as other systems?

Yes. The CA profile is selected independently from the application deployment target.
