Sectigo

Sectigo provides digital certificate lifecycle and PKI management. The Sectigo adapter allows you to integrate with Axonius to fetch and monitor certificate inventories, user accounts and devices.

Use Cases the Adapter Solves

  • Certificate Lifecycle Management: Automatically discover and track all SSL/TLS certificates across your infrastructure to monitor expiration dates, identify expired or near-expiration certificates, and ensure compliance with certificate management policies.

  • Access Control Verification: Fetch and manage user accounts and their administrative privileges within Sectigo to audit who has access to certificate management functions and ensure proper access controls.

  • Device Certificate Tracking: Identify all devices with certificates managed through Sectigo, track their certification status, and validate that devices are using valid certificates for secure communications.

Types of Assets Fetched

This adapter fetches the following types of assets:

  • Devices, Users, Certificates, Application Settings

Data Retrieved through the Adapter

The following data can be fetched by the adapter:

Devices - fields such as Device name, status, organization ID

Users - fields such as Username, email address, secondary email

Certificates - fields such as Common name, certificate type, backend certification ID

Application Settings - fields such as ACME account configuration (cert validation type, account settings), Azure account delegation mode and authentication settings

Before You Begin

Required Ports

  • TCP port 443 (HTTPS)

Authentication Methods

Basic Authentication - The Sectigo adapter uses HTTP Basic Authentication with username and password credentials to authenticate API requests to the Sectigo Certificate Manager server.

APIs

Axonius uses the Sectigo Certificate Manager REST API. The following endpoints are called:

  • GET /api/ssl/v1 - Fetch SSL certificates
  • GET /api/device/v1 - Fetch devices
  • GET /api/user/v1 - Fetch users
  • GET api/acme/v2/account** - ACME account configuration
  • GET api/acme/v1/server** - ACME server settings
  • GET api/azure/v1/accounts** - Azure account configuration
  • GET api/discovery/v1/bucket/|bucket_id|** - Discovery bucket settings
  • GET api/connector/v1/dns** - DNS connector configuration
  • GET api/agent/v1/ms/|agent_id|** - Microsoft agent settings
  • GET api/agent/v1/network/|agent_id|** - Network agent configuration
  • GET api/person/v2** - User settings and validation types
  • GET api/profile/v1** - Certificate profile settings

Required Permissions

The following permissions are required:

Administrator Role (Recommended)

  • API access enabled on user account
  • Permission to read certificate data
  • Permission to read user account information
  • Permission to read device information
  • Permission to read application settings and security policies (for Application Settings feature)
  • In order to fetch Application Settings the following permissions are required:
    • The account needs the MRAO role:

      MRAO (Master Registration Authority Officer): This role grants full, unrestricted administrative control and visibility across all organizations and departments in the enterprise account.

      Note on lesser roles: While RAO (Registration Authority Officer) or DRAO (Department Registration Authority Officer) roles can technically reach some of these endpoints, their responses will be tightly scoped to their assigned departments. They will likely return 403 Forbidden errors for global endpoints.

      Admin Account Type

      The user profile in the SCM Settings must be configured for programmatic access: Admin Type: Must be set to API (or Standard).
