Even though the user may have certificate privileges, this message indicates that certificate server is
not properly set up. (Possible reasons include: the server might be down or the signing utility might
not be set up). If the user clicks OK, ETM will launch and they will be able to communicate to
meters that are not in ECC mode.
Figure 3 - 9. Login Validation
The authentication process provides the user with the required MAT Certificate. The length of time
that the MAT certificate is valid is configured by the utility in the Organization Information settings,
with the default being 1440 minutes.
A CAUTION: If a MAT Certificate is nearing expiration, the user may log out of ETM and log
back in to get a new Certificate. If the ETM instance either has no Certificate, or the current
MAT Certificate expiration is less than 50% of the original time interval, the MAT requests a
new MAT Certificate.
