ManageEngine Key Manager Plus

ManageEngine Key Manager Plus is a complex and comprehensive piece of software designed from the ground up to make it as easy as possible for you monitor and manage SSH (secure shell) keys and SSL (secure socket layer) certificates.

Probably the first thing you should know is the fact that this application comes with a web-based user interface that can be loaded by Internet Explorer 9.0 or later and, as our tests have shown, even by other modern web browsers such as Edge, Firefox, Chrome, just to name a few.

This said, starting to use the application is not at all complicated since you can easily deploy it on your computer thanks to a streamlined and typical installer.

Subsequent to its installation process, the app should make its presence know by integrating with your computer's taskbar and by automatically launching its UI with the help of your default web browser.

Evidently, you will be prompted to input your official credentials in order to log in or use the default credentials for evaluation purposes (username:admin, password:admin).

Once logged in, you should be able to start using the application right off the bat since, despite its somewhat complicated nature, the web-based UI is very novice-accessible.

In principle, all of the main features and functions are always within arm's reach and are easily accessible from the left-sided toolbar.

Starting with its SSH-related capabilities, the utility can help you discover SSH systems within the network, consolidate all found SSH keys within a secure repository, associate new key pairs with users, launch a direct SSH connection with a target system and automatically rotate key pairs at specific intervals, for better, all-around security.

Moving on, you can also discover all the valid SSL certificates that have been deployed within the network, securely store them within a repository, keep track of important details such as the algorithm's encryption type, key length and the creation date of any issue and firmly control new certificate signing requests.

Taking everything into consideration, ManageEngine Key Manager Plus is an efficient and surprisingly user-friendly tool that can potentially help network administrators anticipate and block security breaches and bypass annoying compliance processes by providing all the necessary tools for monitoring and controlling SSH keys and SSL certificates.
