Company Indeed has released Indeed Certificate Manager 7.3, the latest version of its centralized certificate and key media management system. The primary focus of the update is Linux infrastructure, with the product gaining support for additional directories, an open certificate authority, and single sign-on via Kerberos.
Indeed CM now works with OpenLDAP and Alt Domain. This enables organizations to deploy PKI infrastructure entirely within Linux environments and avoid vendor lock-in for core directory services.
Another significant integration is Dogtag CA. The open-source certificate authority can now be used together with Indeed CM for issuing and managing the full certificate lifecycle. Administrators no longer need to handle the low-level cryptographic operations directly, as the system manages these tasks.
For access to Indeed CM services on Linux, Kerberos SSO has been implemented. Once a user authenticates to the domain, no additional credentials are required, reducing the number of passwords that must be remembered and lowering phishing risk.
Certificate protection has also been strengthened. Version 7.3 supports Rutoken BIO and three-factor authentication combining a hardware token, PIN code, and fingerprint. In integration with Rutoken Logon, a complex password scenario has been added where the password is automatically generated and stored on the token.
Additional features include storage of service notes about users and the ability to issue service certificates for client agents through SafeTech CA. The list of supported hardware now includes new JaCarta models.
Indeed CM 7.3 adds support for Windows Server 2025, Debian 13, and Alt 11, while remaining compatible with ALD Pro 3.0.
