Run Certificate Discovery via Agent Client Collector for Visibility Content

Discover TLS/SSL certificates used by ports running on the agent's server. The Certificate Inventory and Management application uses this information to manage TLS/SSL certificates.

Before you begin

Verify that the latest version of Agent Client Collector for Visibility Content (ACC-VC) is installed.

Verify that the latest version of Certificate Inventory and Management is installed.

Role required: agent_client_collector_admin

Procedure

  1. Navigate to All > Agent Client Collector > Policies.

  2. Enable the TLS SSL Certificate Capture policy.

  3. Navigate to All > System properties > All properties.

  4. To discover certificates on specific ports:

    1. Locate and select the sn_acc_vis_content.tls_ssl_scanner_ports property.

    2. Enter a comma-separated list of port numbers on which to scan for certificates in the Choices field.

      By default, the values are identical to those values configured for the tls_ssl_certs property.

  5. To discover certificates on all available open ports:

    1. Locate and select the sn_acc_vis_content.tls_ssl_scan_all_open_ports property.

    2. Assign the value true.

  6. To store the original certificate in the instance, set the sn_acc_vis_content.tls_ssl_keep_original property to true.

Result

The Agent Client Collector collects the data and discovers the TLS/SSL certificates. This data is the same as what is gathered by the IP-based tls_ssl_probe property.

The TLS/SSL certificates are populated in the following tables:

  • Discovered Certificates [sn_disco_certmgmt_certificate_history]
  • Unique Certificates [cmdb_ci_certificate]
  • Installed Certificates [sn_disco_certmgmt_cmdb_installed_certificate]

A CI relationship is created between the discovered certificates and the corresponding Host CI (in this case, the agent's server).
