# Certificate Inventory and Management tables

This framework supports security, compliance, and streamlined operations. Certificate Inventory and Management tables provide a centralized system to track and manage digital certificates. They capture key details, including discovered certificates, installation locations, historical data, and associated tasks such as renewals and requests.

Description

</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>

Unique Certificate \[cmdb\_ci\_certificate\]

</td><td>

The Fingerprint column is unique for every server certificate. **Note:** You can also view the entire certificate chain using the related list in the Unique Certificate table. The State field records the life cycle state of the certificate and doesn't include an Expired value. Expired certificates are denoted as Issued. Use the Valid to field to identify certificates that have expired.

</td></tr><tr><td>

</td><td>

Discovery populates this table with all discovered certificates and shows all locations where certificates are installed. It does not have a reference to the server CI and does not go through IRE. Relationships with the managed certificate are stored in the CI Relationship \[cmdb\_rel\_ci\] table. The relationships can be for servers, applications, or business services.

</td></tr><tr><td>
