NetLinx Security - Web Server
A certificate consists of two different Keys:
 Master Key is generated by the Master and is incorporated into the text string sent to the
CA during a certificate request. It is specific to a particular request made on a specific
Master.
 Public Key is part of the text string that is returned from the CA as part of an approved
SSL Server Certificate. This public key is based off the submitted Master key from the
original request.
 Regenerating a previously requested and installed certificate, invalidates the
previously purchased certificate because the Master Key has been changed.
5. Use the Server > Create SSL Certificate > Display Certificate option to confirm the new
certificate was imported properly to the target Master.

self-generated certificate has been created and the SSL Enable feature has been
selected on the Master. These actions configure the Master the secure
communication necessary during the importing of the CA certificate.
