A Windows GUI for the full SSL.com certificate lifecycle

SSL Manager bridges the gap between SSL.com’s web portal and your Windows server environment. Instead of manually generating CSRs, copying certificate files, and navigating the Windows Certificate Manager, SSL Manager handles all of it through a straightforward interface.

SSL Manager is free. It works with any SSL.com certificate order: there is no additional cost to use it.

Key capabilities

Order certificates

Place new SSL.com certificate orders directly from the application, single domain, wildcard, multi-domain, and more.

Install certificates

Install certificates to your Windows server’s certificate store automatically, with no manual file handling.

Renew and reissue

Renew expiring certificates and reissue with updated Subject Alternative Names (SANs) directly from within the application: no portal round-trip, no command-line tooling required.

YubiKey FIPS token management

Format, initialize, and manage YubiKey FIPS hardware tokens for EV Code Signing and Document Signing certificates.

Certificate inventory

View all your SSL.com certificates, their expiry dates, and status in one place.

CSR generation

Generate Certificate Signing Requests for any SSL.com certificate type (TLS, code signing, S/MIME, document signing) without OpenSSL, MMC certificate snap-in, or manual configuration.

Who is SSL Manager for?

Windows server administrators

Manage SSL.com certificates on IIS, Windows Server, or Exchange.

EV Code Signing and Document Signing teams

Manage YubiKey FIPS tokens for EV Code Signing and Document Signing.

SSL Manager supports ordering and managing TLS/SSL certificates, code signing certificates, document signing certificates, and S/MIME certificates from SSL.com.
SSL Manager can simplify the renewal process through its GUI, but it is not a fully automated lifecycle management tool. For automated renewals without user interaction, use ACME instead.
