• Proficiency with certificate authorities including commercial CAs (DigiCert, GlobalSign, Sectigo) and open-source solutions (Let’s Encrypt, OpenSSL-based CAs).

• Perform routine CA maintenance: database backups, CA certificate renewal, CRL/AIA rollover planning, and root/subordinate CA key ceremonies as needed.
• Troubleshoot ADCS-related issues — enrollment failures, template permission issues, autoenrollment failures, SPN/Kerberos-related errors (e.g., WSMAN SPN issues for remote enrollment/orchestration).
