Each Microsoft platform and product has different approaches to renewing and installing certificates. Managed Keys hides all this complexity and manages all keys in an uniform way to ensure higher uptime and better security. Managed Keys also supplements Active Directory certificate services by bridging the gaps and extending the range of Microsofts certificate services.
In SAP landscapes there are multiple key stores, systems are typically managed by multiple teams and keys are often used in B2B scenarios where a public key needs to be shared between multiple organizations.
Managed Keys runs as an integrated part of SAP NetWeaver and hides complexities in cross-team, cross-organizational, time-syncronized key renewals.
Often keys & certificates need to be installed in specialized appliances for SSL acceleration, load balancing, remote access solutions (VPN, VDI etc.), WiFi access points etc. Managed Keys takes care of entire process from internal or external order to installation in the specific format of the certificate, key and chain that each appliance requires.
