GlobalSign Certificate Provider

The GlobalSign provider allows you to request certificates through the GMO GlobalSign Atlas portal. GlobalSign is a public CA that issues TLS server and S/MIME certificates, among other types of certificate. A valid and active account at the Atlas-Portal of GlobalSign is required for using GlobalSign certificate provider. You can then retrieve secrets and keys, to connect to the GlobalSign CA and request certificates.

By using a certificate provider type of GlobalSign, the GlobalSign related fields become available for modification as well. The Update Keystore button allows the entry of a new GlobalSign Keystore and Keystore Password. Selecting Cancel will return the Keystore values to the original ones. Otherwise, the Certificate Provider updates upon clicking the Proceed button.

Below you will find which parameters are required for the creation of a GlobalSign certificate provider.
