Automating certificate management
HCL Domino® 12 introduces a new server task, Certificate Manager (CertMgr), that works with a new database, Certificate Store (certstore.nsf) to automate generation of TLS certificates from the Let's Encrypt® certificate authority (CA) or another third-party CA.
Managing certificates (Let's Encrypt CA)

Managing certificates (Let's Encrypt CA)

CertMgr simplifies and secures Domino web server operations by automatically requesting, configuring, and renewing free, widely trusted TLS certificates from the Let's Encrypt® certificate authority. For more details, see their web site.

Certificate requests are configured and generated through a domain-wide database called Certificate Store (certstore.nsf). CertMgr creates this database on a server the first time it runs.

Note: Before using the Let's Encrypt® certificate authority, you must accept the terms of their Subscriber Agreement. This step is done as part of creating a certificate request, either through an option in the account document in Certificate Store (certstore.nsf) or through a command line option.
