Indeed Identity presents a new version of Indeed Certificate Manager that offers enhanced functionality and extended capabilities for public key infrastructure management. Here is an overview of the new additions in Indeed CM. New supported DBMS – PostgreSQLStarting with version 6.6, PostgreSQL can be used as a data repository for the Indeed CM software suite. A system data migration utility has been developed to enable secure migration from Microsoft SQL to PostgreSQL. This feature ensures that all your data, regardless of its volume, will be safe during the transfer. Disabling security questionsIn Indeed CM, security questions can be used for additional user authentication. Users are usually prompted to answer these questions when they want to unlock their device, remotely log in to their User Console or reset their PIN on the agent. The User Console will show notifications asking you to add answers to security questions. In version 6.6, you have the option to disable security questions and related notifications in your User Console if your company does not plan to use any system functions that require answers to these questions.  Service certificate detailsIndeed CM administrators require service certificates to set up integration with certificate authorities (Enrollment Agent Certificate). Relevant certificate details can be found in a specialized section of the Indeed CM Dashboard.  This tab now includes additional information about the issuing certificate authority and the validity period for all service certificates shown at the step of integration setup. This information will assist you in locating the appropriate certificate (for example, if you want to update it).
 Printing certificate revocation formYou can now print a certificate revocation form in the User Console in the same way you can print certificates and certificate requests. The standard print template has been uploaded, and if required, it can be customized for each certificate template added to the policy.  Restoring Microsoft CA certificate on new devicesYou can now save a backup copy of the key to restore the same Microsoft CA certificate on a new temporary or permanent device. In order to do that, select Create a backup copy of the key (and Write a key copy to new temporary devices) in the certificate template, and a copy of the key pair will be transferred to the Indeed CM system repository. In case if you need to replace a device, your MSCA certificate will be restored with the same keys on the new device. If this option is disabled, a pre-installed template will be used to create a new certificate on the device.  Automated system actions for remote usersNew features have been added to Card Monitor, the service that manages automated operations with devices. Now you can automatically revoke smart cards and tokens for users with the User deleted status. This will help you properly manage the accounts of employees who left the company. As a result, system administrators no longer need to manually remove device assignments for dismissed employees to free up licenses. Other updates
