I have migrated a certificate from IBM Cloud Certificate Manager to Secrets Manager. Now I have the same certificate in both Certificate Manager and Secrets Manager.
What should I do now to use the certificate from only Secrets Manager?

Please share more details. Is this in any way related to programming? – Nico Haase Feb 23 '22 at 07:43

IBM Cloud Certificate Manager is integrated with some IBM Cloud services. The newer IBM Cloud Secrets Manager is a more general replacement. It includes support for certificates. There is a Certificate Manager to Secrets Manager migration guide.
From my experience, you should
- set up notifications for expiring certificates
- test if you can benefit from automated renewal / provisioning
- check if your scenario is supported (could your app / service consume from Secrets Manager)
As stated, not all scenarios are supported right now and I use both Certificate Manager and Secrets Manager in parallel, for different sets of certificates and secrets.

Thank you for the response Henrik. In our case we are trying to use only the newly migrated certificates which are in Secretes-Manager. For that, how can I consume latest certificate for my service/application? I mean How can I redirect the service/application traffic from certificate-manager to secrets-manager? – Bharath Kumar Endhurthi Feb 23 '22 at 08:14

That should have been in your question. What services? Some would be to use a different API (SM instead of CM), some require reconfiguration. This list should be growing https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/secrets-manager?topic=secrets-manager-integrations – data_henrik Feb 23 '22 at 08:32
