Citrix ADC’s SSL offload feature transparently improves the performance of web sites that conduct SSL transactions. By offloading CPU-intensive SSL tasks from the local web server, it ensures secure delivery of web applications. However, this setup requires a valid SSL certificate and key pair from a Certificate Authority (CA), which must be kept up-to-date.

In enterprise environments, it's common practice to deploy hundreds of Citrix ADCs. Manually managing this volume of certificates (creation, deployment, binding, and renewal) is highly inefficient and prone to human error. By leveraging automation, you can save significant time and costs, and prevent outages caused by expired certificates.

Why Citrix SSL Automation with Certinite?

This is where Certinite comes in. Certinite offers a specialized integration designed to fully automate the certificate lifecycle on your Citrix ADC appliances. Unlike current manual processes, you can manage certificate deployments for all your ADCs from a single, centralized dashboard via the secure NITRO API.

Our solution relies on the standard ACME protocol and Citrix's native NITRO API to fetch certificates, upload them directly to target appliances, and automatically bind them to the appropriate vServers. It also ensures that certificates are renewed automatically before they expire, helping you achieve 100 percent service availability.

To relieve your DevOps and infrastructure teams, eliminate human error, and ensure continuous security for your Citrix environment, try the automation capabilities offered by Certinite today.
