I’m currently setting up Certificate Discovery in our ServiceNow instance and plan to use a combination of Port-based and CA-based discovery. However, after reviewing the documentation, it seems that only a few Certificate Authorities (Entrust, DigiCert, Sectigo, GoDaddy) are officially supported for CA-based discovery.
Our organization uses a self-hosted CA for internal sites, and I was wondering if anyone has successfully configured CA-based discovery to work with a self-hosted CA. The documentation doesn’t outline a method for adding or integrating a custom CA, so I’d appreciate any insights or experiences from the community.
Specifically, I’d like to know:
- Is there a way to integrate a self-hosted CA into the CA discovery process?
- If not natively supported, are there any workarounds or customization approaches that have worked for others?
- Any potential limitations or gotchas to consider when using self-hosted CAs with Certificate Discovery?
Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi @Konner Lester ,
Unfortunately, it won't be supported as of now apart from Entrust, DigiCert, Sectigo, GoDaddy.

hi Konner, we support additional Cert Authorities through ACME (automated cert management environment) protocol. if your self-hosted CA supports ACME this should be easy.
otherwise, this will take custom services effort.
Hope this helps.
