Uploading an HTTPS Certificate
You can use HTTPS Certificates for secure communication between the virtual appliance and host systems. To set up this type
of secure communication, a certificate signing request must be sent to a certificate authority and then the resulting certificate
is uploaded using the Administration Console. There is also a default certificate that is self-signed and can be used for secure
communication; this certificate is unique to every installation.
NOTE: You can use Microsoft Internet Explorer , Firefox, Crome to upload certificates.
