I'm trying to find the best methods for managing our certificate inventory across both Windows and Linux systems. We're considering using Lansweeper to gather all the certificates in our environment, but I'm curious if there are better alternatives or methods to ensure everything is accounted for. Any suggestions or experiences would be greatly appreciated!

Have you thought about checking in with your certificate provider? If you're using a commercial CA, they might already have an inventory of the signed certificates. Just wondering if your goal is to find out where the certificates are actively used or just to compile a list of what's out there.
What exactly are you hoping to achieve with this inventory? Gaining visibility into all the certificates in your environment could definitely help. It’s crucial to not just list them but also understand where they're being used.
Initially, I thought you meant the root certificates in trust stores, but it seems you're after the X.509 leaf certificates on your TLS endpoints. We use a simple script to audit these—there’s a TLS-scanning script that comes with nmap that might help you out.
Consider looking into a certificate lifecycle management tool. There are specific solutions that can help you catalog certificates from your internal CAs or particular URLs, which might save you some hassle compared to manual inventory checks.
