Web-browser Security Certificates
The P-Series Node Manager client and the server communicate via HTTPs. All transactions are encrypted,
and thus protected, by the SSL protocol. The SSL certificate is a self-signed certificate that is not signed by
a trusted Certificate Authority (CA). While trying to launch the P-Series Node Manager, your web browser
might display an alert indicating that the security certificate was not issued by trusted CA or a similar
warning (Figure 22). You are safe to use the application without security risks.
