Security Manager 8.3.30 introduced a feature for tracking certificate events. This new feature was added to support Entrust CA Gateway and some clients, such as Entrust Certificate Hub. When the state of a certificate changes – for example, from ACTIVE to ON HOLD – the new state is recorded in the UserCertTracking database table. This feature:

  • Applies only to certificate state changes in release 8.3.30 or later.
  • Does not capture certificate state changes that occurred before release 8.3.30.

To get a complete certificate status history, run a script that backfills the UserCertTracking table in the Security Manager database with the missing certificate status events. Security Manager must be one of the following releases:

  • Security Manager 8.3.62 or later
  • Security Manager 10.0.30 or later

For information about backfilling the UserCerttracking table in Security Manager, see knowledge article 89407 on Entrust TrustedCare:
