An organization is configuring new trust-based validation for multiple departments. They want minimal administrative tasks for certificate lifecycle management. Which approach is the BEST for fulfilling this requirement?
Use a manual credential generation process for each identity, distributing credentials in password-protected archives.
Establish a new authority for every department, each with its own issuance policy.
Obtain credentials from an external provider, applying individualized signing methods for separate environments.
Integrate directory-based templates that automatically handle issuance for designated users with a common standard.
Using directory-based templates with automated issuance streamlines deployment. The directory automates certificate renewal and assignment, cutting down on errors. Manual issuance increases human workload and risks inaccuracies. Multiple separate authorities for each department adds complexity and overhead. An external provider with individual methods can fragment processes, making updates harder to oversee.
