SSL Manager
Order, install, and manage your SSL.com certificates — without the command line
SSL Manager is a free Windows desktop application from SSL.com. It provides a graphical interface for ordering new certificates, installing them on your server, managing existing certificates, and handling YubiKey FIPS tokens — all without command-line tools or MMC snap-ins.
A Windows GUI for the full SSL.com certificate lifecycle
SSL Manager bridges the gap between SSL.com’s web portal and your Windows server environment. Instead of manually generating CSRs, copying certificate files, and navigating the Windows Certificate Manager, SSL Manager handles all of it through a straightforward interface.
SSL Manager is free. It works with any SSL.com certificate order — there is no additional cost to use it.
Key capabilities
Order certificates
Place new SSL.com certificate orders directly from the application — single domain, wildcard, multi-domain, and more.
Install certificates
Install certificates to your Windows server’s certificate store automatically, with no manual file handling.
Renew and reissue
Renew expiring certificates and reissue with updated SANs from within the application.
YubiKey FIPS token management
Format, initialize, and manage YubiKey FIPS hardware tokens for EV Code Signing and Document Signing certificates.
Certificate inventory
View all your SSL.com certificates, their expiry dates, and status in one place.
CSR generation
Generate certificate signing requests for any certificate type — no OpenSSL required.
