Understanding certificate buckets

Certificate buckets are used to group and sort certificates found during discovery scans. Once discovered, certificates are automatically added to the certificate bucket associated with the discovery task that found them.

The certificates in a bucket can be automatically assigned to an organization or department using assignment rules applied to the bucket.

For more information about assignment rules, see Understanding assignment rules.

Certificate buckets can be managed on the Discovery Certificate Buckets page.
