Hi all, The subject line says it all. I'm trying to work out a point of delineation between our apps and infrastructure groups as to who owns what....I see certificates as a point of question....
So, what do you all think? For those of you who deal with larger environments, who handles the certs? The application team or the Infrastructure team? I realize that there are exceptions to every rule, but I'm talking in generalities here. I'm not talking about the actual generation of the cert, but say you have an app group that has their own custom application, and they need a cert. Infrastructure procures it, and then hands it over to the apps team to install, or the infrastructure team asks where it needs to be installed and then installs it? Case in point - we had an app that broke today because the cert was not properly bound to the site in IIS. The Infrastructure team installed the cert to the servers in the proper store, and then alerted the apps team that it was there....apps team took no action, and did not communicate back that they took no action, and so then the infrastructure team took no action because the assumption was that it was an apps team responsibility once the cert was on the server.....but then the infrastructure team ended up fixing it in the end.
