Certificates
The DSView 3 software system uses certificates to provide secure transactions between
components and to uniquely identify components in the system.
System certificate and SSH key
The DSView 3 software system generates and manages a system certificate and SSH key. The
system certificate or SSH key may be exported to a local directory - the certificate’s public key
may then be used to validate the signature of data log files. See Verifying data log file digital
signatures on page 221.
To view or export the system certificate or SSH key:
1. Click the System tab.
2. Click Global Properties in the top navigation bar.
3. In the side navigation bar, click X.509 Certificates, and then click System Certificate. The
System Certificate window will open.
4. To export the system certificate in PEM format to a local directory, click Export Certificate
. A pop-up window will open. The content of this window is browser-dependent, but it
will usually prompt you to confirm the export operation. Confirm or cancel.
-or-
To export the SSH key in PUB format to a local directory, click Export SSH Key. A
pop-up window will open. The content of this window is browser-dependent, but it
will usually prompt you to confirm the export operation. Confirm or cancel.
Server certificates
A DSView 3 server certificate:
• Uniquely identifies the DSView 3 server to DSView 3 software clients connecting to the
server using web browsers
• Uniquely identifies the DSView 3 server to other DSView 3 servers in the system and
provides for secure transactions between them
• Provides for secure transactions between DSView 3 software clients and the DSView 3
software server
