X.509 Certificate Management

Web certificates are necessary to ensure the identity of a remote system and ensure that information

exchanged with the remote system cannot be viewed or changed by others. To ensure system security, it

is strongly recommended that you either generate a new X.509 certificate, reuse an existing X.509

certificate, or import a root certificate or certificate chain from a Certification Authority (CA).

NOTE: You must be logged in with Admin privileges to perform certificate management.

To manage X.509 certificates through the Preferences home page, click General Settings, click the Web

Server tab, and click X.509 Certificate.

Use the X.509 certificate tool to either generate a new X.509 certificate, reuse an existing X.509

certificate, or import a root certificate or certificate chain from a CA. Authorized CAs include Verisign,

Entrust, and Thawte.
