Overview

GlobalSign Target enables you to use GlobalSign as a Public CA with Akeyless PKI Issuer .

With Public CA, Akeyless cannot access the private key that signs the certificates. Hence, Akeyless will programmatically contact GlobalSign through the Gateway using the account details of the domain owner to validate the certificate request.

Akeyless will store and manage the issued certificates and notify you of upcoming expiration events.

Create a GlobalSign target using the CLI

To create a GlobalSign target from the CLI, run the following command:

akeyless create-globalsign-target \
--name <Target Name> \
--username <Username> \
--password <Password> \
--profile-id <Profile ID> \
--contact-first-name <Account owner first name> \
--contact-last-name <Account owner last name> \
--contact-phone <Account owner telephone> \
--contact-email <Account owner email> 

Where:

• --name: A unique name for the target. The name can include a path to the virtual folder where you want to create a new target using the slash /separators. The folder will be created with the target if it does not exist.
• --username: The username used to log in to the GlobalSign DCC account.
• --password: the password used to log in to the GlobalSign DCC account.
• --profile-id: The profile ID of the GlobalSign GCC account.
• --contact-first-name: First name of the GlobalSign GCC account contact.
• --contact-last-name: Last name of the GlobalSign GCC account contact.
• --contact-phone: Telephone of the GlobalSign GCC account contact.
• --contact-email: Email of the GlobalSign GCC account contact.
• For a full list of the available CLI command, see the CLI reference

Once the GlobalSign Target is created, it can be used to generate a Public certificate.
