CertLantern

Certificate visibility for teams without a PKI team.

CertLantern is certificate visibility for teams without a PKI team. It checks that auto-renewal actually worked, raises unexpected-CA and CAA alerts, includes every subdomain discovered automatically, and keeps an audit-ready inventory export. The app stays at certs.playedu.games.

How it works

Add a domain

Sign in with a one-time email link, create an organization, and name a domain. Every subdomain discovered automatically is added to the inventory.

Confirm renewal

CertLantern checks that auto-renewal actually worked: a new certificate in the logs is not the same as the certificate a host is serving.

Export the record

Download an audit-ready inventory export when you need issuer, names, and expiry in one file.

What you can see

Certificate visibility for teams without a PKI team.

Renewal checks

A live check compares the certificate a host is serving with the one that was issued, so you can see that auto-renewal actually worked.

Unexpected-CA and CAA alerts

An unexpected-CA alert fires when a certificate comes from an issuer you did not expect. CAA alerts fire when the CAA record changes.

Subdomains

Every subdomain discovered automatically shows up, including names you did not type in by hand.

Audit-ready export

An audit-ready inventory export lists what was issued, what is serving, and when it expires.

Alerts

Email alerts are on Pro and Team. Webhook alerts are on Team. Unexpected-CA and CAA alerts are part of that same signal: an issuer you did not expect, or a CAA change.

A few answers

  • A listed certificate was issued. It was not necessarily installed. Transparency logs record issuance, not deployment. A name can show up because someone requested a certificate, even if you never installed it.
  • Only your organization can see its inventory. Anyone can look up one public domain on the certificate checker. The organization inventory itself stays behind sign-in.
