Import Dell Manager Certificate
If your deployment includes Security Management Server remotely-managed clients with Encryption Management Agents, you
must import your newly created (or existing) certificate. The Dell Manager certificate is used as a vehicle to protect the private
key which is used to sign the policy bundles being sent to Security Management Server remotely-managed clients and
Encryption Management Agent. This certificate can be independent of any of the other certificates. Additionally, if this key is
compromised it can be replaced with a new key, and Dell Manager will request a new public key if it cannot decrypt the policy
bundles.
