To use a third party signed certificate:
1. After generating the self-signed certificate, click Get CSR (Certificate Signing Request) at the
top-right of the panel. (See the screenshot on page 153.)
2. Go to the CA website of your choice and apply for an SSL certificate using the information
generated in step 1.
3. After the CA sends you the certificate, open the Server Certificate page, click Update at the top-
right of the panel.
4. Select Import a signed SSL server certificate, browse to the certificate file location, and select
it.
5. Click Save at the top-right of the panel.
Note: Each of the certificate types mentioned in this section provides an equal level of
security. The advantage of the changed self-signed certificate is that it allows you to provide
more information than the installation certificate. The advantage of a CA third party
certificate is that users do not have to go through the certificate acceptance prompt each time
they log in, and it provides the additional assurance that a recognized authority has certified
that the certificate is valid.
