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 Administrator privileges to perform certificate management.
You can manage X.509 certificates for Server Administrator and IT Assistant from the respective
Preferences Web 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.
