Use Cases

Trust workflows for teams that own production infrastructure.

CertLocker brings certificates, secrets, just-in-time host access, endpoint verification, scoped tokens, and audit evidence into one control plane. These are the infrastructure teams it helps first.

See Platform Overview

Certificate operations

Inventory, renewal, ACME delivery, endpoint probes, and audit for TLS across every environment.

Secrets control

PEM material, credentials, service configs, and private secrets under RBAC and reviewable access.

JIT host access

Time-limited SSH access to scoped hosts and environments, including browser terminal workflows.

Audit evidence

Answer who changed a certificate, retrieved a secret, created a token, or accessed a host.

Choose the path closest to your infrastructure problem.

Each use case maps CertLocker to the buyer pain, operational workflow, and next feature pages to review.

DevOps and platform teams

Stop managing production trust with spreadsheets and shell scripts.

For teams running services across dev, staging, production, clouds, and bare metal. Govern certificate lifecycle, secrets, tokens, hosts, and delivery in one workflow.

  • Certificate renewal and delivery across environments
  • Scoped machine tokens instead of broad credentials
  • Endpoint probes to verify what production serves

Financial infrastructure

Keep trading and regulated systems trusted without manual renewal risk.

For brokers, trading platforms, API gateways, load balancers, and regulated environments where certificate failure creates uptime and evidence problems.

  • HAProxy, MT4/MT5, API, and service TLS workflows
  • Audit history for certificate and access changes
  • Production verification before failures become incidents

Zero trust SSH

Replace permanent PEM files with access that expires.

For teams that need fast operator access without leaving shared keys on laptops, CI systems, jump boxes, and forgotten servers.

  • Token-scoped SSH by host and environment
  • Revocation in seconds when access should end
  • Access logs tied into the same audit model

Buyer questions

Use cases should answer what breaks when trust is scattered.

The pages in this section are built around practical infrastructure decisions: who owns certificate renewal, where secrets live, how host access gets approved, and how the team proves what happened.

What needs to stay online?

Map CertLocker to load balancers, trading platforms, API gateways, internal services, and hosts.

What needs least privilege?

Scope machine tokens, secret access, and SSH sessions so one compromise does not expose everything.

What needs proof?

Keep certificate, secret, token, probe, and host-access events in the same audit trail.

What needs to integrate?

Use ACME, browser SSH, notification channels, and familiar infrastructure paths where possible.
