Trust Store Management for Windows and Linux Infrastructure

Certificate lifecycle automation protects the certificates you present. Trust Store Management helps control the roots and intermediates your infrastructure accepts.

The operational problem

Make the certificate workflow match the estate you actually run.

Trust anchors tend to accumulate across servers until nobody can answer where a root is trusted or what will break if it is removed. SSLNexus gives operators approved trust bundles, discovery, provisioning state and drift visibility using existing managed targets.

Bundle

Define approved root and intermediate sets.

Discover

Compare observed trust against intended state.

Provision

Apply approved trust with guardrails.

Workflow

From visibility to a repeatable operating process.

01Import public root and intermediate certificates
02Create approved trust bundles
03Assign bundles to managed Windows or Linux targets
04Discover observed trust state
05Review compliant, drift or pending status
06Provision changes and verify the resulting state
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 Trust Store Management import private keys?

No. Trust Store Management is for public root and intermediate CA certificate material.

Will SSLNexus automatically delete every excluded OS root?

No. Exclusions create drift visibility, and automatic removal is constrained so vendor/OS-managed roots are not silently deleted.

Can we see where a root is trusted?

Yes. Trust anchors are connected into Dependency & Impact so operators can identify known trust relationships before changes.
