Understanding orchestration gateways

Sectigo orchestration gateways are installed on your network to support the automated request and installation of SSL certificates for delegated organizations and departments.

When an orchestration gateway receives a certificate request from SCM, it generates a certificate signing request (CSR). If required, the request is presented for administrator approval in SCM before submitting the CSR to Sectigo and tracking the order number. Once the certificate is issued by the CA, the orchestration gateway downloads the certificate and enables the administrator to install it.

Orchestration gateways installed on a single server can be configured to communicate with, and install certificates on, other remote endpoints in the network.

A complete certificate trust chain (root and intermediate certificates) is required when the orchestration gateway is installed on F5 BIG-IP devices or when the certificate is issued by a private CA. To add a trusted CA certificate, see Add a trusted CA certificate.

Orchestration gateways can be managed on the Integrations Orchestration Gateways page.
