Use the Server Certificates feature page to view the names of certificates, the fully qualified domain names (FQDNs) of hosts to which certificates have been issued, and the FQDNs of the servers that issued the certificates.

UI Element List

The following tables describe the UI elements that are available on the feature page and in the Actions pane.

Feature Page Elements

Element NameDescription

Name

Displays the names of certificates that have been issued to clients that are running on either Internet or intranet hosts.

Note

Certificates are not required to have names. You may have to view other columns to obtain information about certificates.

Issued To

Displays the FQDNs of either the Internet or intranet hosts to which certificates have been issued.

Issued By

Displays the FQDNs of servers that have issued certificates to clients that are running on either Internet or intranet hosts.

Expiration Date

Certificate Hash

Displays binary data produced by using a hashing algorithm. Although this data uniquely identifies a certificate, the hash data cannot be used to trace a certificate because hashing is a one-way process.
