PKI and Certificate Software Tools
Over the years, PKI Solutions has provided free tools and utilities that help administrators diagnose and work with various Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) components. While the community still references some of these tools, active development has shifted to PKI Spotlight®, our flagship PKI monitoring, observability, and security posture management platform.
Below are tools with limited or no active support. PKI Spotlight is the modern replacement if you’re seeking ongoing functionality, visibility, and enterprise-grade capabilities.
-
PowerShell PKI Module
Used to script ADCS operations and extract PKI configuration data.
Learn more about our transition to PKI Spotlight, which now delivers continuous observability, not just point-in-time scripting.
-
SSL Certificate Verifier
This tool provided a simple way to check SSL/TLS certificate validity and chain trust from a given endpoint.
This functionality, which includes continuous monitoring, alerting, and TLS trust chain validation, is now available in PKI Spotlight.
-
ASN.1 Editor
Initially built for decoding and inspecting ASN.1-encoded certificate data.
No longer supported. See how PKI Spotlight provides real-time visibility into certificate structure, revocation data, and PKI health.
-
PowerShell File Checksum Integrity Verifier
PSFCIV extended Microsoft’s original FCIV tool by offering SHA-2 hash support and a more modern PowerShell-based interface. Used to validate file integrity across PKI assets and other critical infrastructure components. While effective in narrow scenarios, today’s environments demand continuous integrity monitoring. PKI Spotlight addresses this need with endpoint availability checks, revocation freshness tracking, and CA certificate integrity validation.
-
CA Backup Script for ADCS
Automate secure, restorable backups of your Microsoft CA. This PowerShell-based script captures critical components—certificate database, private keys, and configuration—for disaster recovery, migration prep, or compliance.
