OVERVIEW
The bulk import process follows these high-level steps. Details for each step are documented below.
- Export certificates from Entrust Certificate Services
- Import certificates into Venafi Trust Protection Platform
EXPORT CERTIFICATES FROM ENTRUST CERTIFICATE SERVICES
From a browser, access Entrust Certificate Services using the following URL:
From the Certificate Services home screen, ensure you are on the ECS Certificates tab. From there, click the stacked line icon in the upper-left corner of the screen and click the Select all records option.
On the right side of the menu, click the Export Certificates option. This will download a zip file containing all of your certificates.
After a few moments, your download will complete. Unzip the file and save the resultant directory to the system which will be scanned using the Venafi Server Agent.
