Dashboard

The dashboard serves as the home page for users, displaying the number of user's certificates.

SSL Checker

SSL Checker enables user to verify the details of certificates installed on any website.

The purpose of this feature is to allow users to confirm installation of SSL Certificates on their own websites.

Certificates

Users can initiate the process of generating an SSL certificate by submitting their CSR (Certificate Signing Request). The panel guides users through the required fields, such as domain name, organization details, and email address.

After selecting a validation method, users can monitor the validation progress in real-time. The interface provides feedback on whether the domain has been successfully verified or if additional actions are required.

Once a certificate has been issued, users can easily download the certificate file along with the corresponding private key and CSR. These files are conveniently packaged for server deployment.

Users can view a detailed list of all their certificates, including information such as Domain Name, Certificate Status, Expiry Date, Provider Details among other details.

CSR Generator & Validator

The CSR Generator and Validator allow users to create and validate Certificate Signing Requests (CSRs) with ease. This section is particularly useful for users who need to generate or troubleshoot CSR files for SSL certificate issuance.

CSR Generator returns CSR Code and Private Key both.

CSR Validator can be useful in validating and retrieving organization data who has generated the CSR Code.

User Profile

The User Profile Page is where users can manage their personal information, update credentials, and configure account-specific settings. This section is designed to ensure that users can easily maintain their profiles and keep their information up-to-date for a seamless experience.

Users can update their names, email address, and phone number. Users can also disable the user account. Once disabled, only admins can enable their account.

Users can also change their account password after loggin into their account. If they forget their passwords, password reset option is also there.

Accessing Admin Panel

The default login credentials for admin are:

• Email: admin@example.com
• Password: Pass@1234

Once you login using the admin email and password, you will be taken to the admin dashboard. Here you can perform tasks like user management, and certificate management.

Admins can also use the user dashobard to manage their own SSL certificates or they can use tools like SSL Checker, CSR Generator, etc. like any normal user.

Users without admin priviledge cannot access this dashboard and there will only be one admin.

Manage Users

The User Management section of the Admin Panel allows administrators to oversee all registered users on the platform. This feature provides essential tools for monitoring, updating, and troubleshooting user accounts.

Admins can modify basic details of users, enable or disable user accounts or even delete them.

Admins cannot modify user password. If a user forget their password, they can use the forgot option to reset the password.

Manage Certificates

The Certificate Management section enables administrators to oversee all SSL certificate requests, issuance, and renewals. This ensures that users' certificate needs are met efficiently while maintaining a high level of service quality.

Admins can view certificate details of every user, revalidate orders on their behalf or resend domain validation emails as well.

Admins can also download CSR Code, Certificate Code, and Private Keys of any certificate on the platform.

Admin Profile

Like any normal user, admins can also modify their own profile details and change password.

Admins will also be able to reset forgotton password using the same option as normal users.
