Oracle Communications Cloud Native core, Certificate Management Partner Validated

OCCM constantly monitors and renews the certificates based on their validity or expiry period.

As 3GPP recommends using separate certificates based on the client or server mode and the type of workflow, it leads to many certificates in the network. Automated certificate management eliminates any possibilities of network disruption due to expired certificates. In SBA network deployments, the Network Functions (NFs) are required to support multiple operator certificates for different purposes and interfaces. This amounts to hundreds of certificates in the network with varying validity periods and unwieldy to monitor and renew the certificates manually. Hence, automation of certificate management becomes important to avoid network disruptions due to expired certificates.
