Installing the Secure COM Port Redirector
If a CA certificate is uploaded, the DeviceMaster only allows SSL/TLS connections
from client applications that provide to the DeviceMaster an identity certificate that
has been signed by the CA certificate that was uploaded to the DeviceMaster.
This uploaded CA certificate that is used to validate a client's identity is sometimes
referred to as a “trusted root certificate”, a “trusted authority certificate”, or a
“trusted CA certificate”. This CA certificate might be that of a trusted commercial
certificate authority or it may be a privately generated certificate that an
organization creates internally to provide a mechanism to control access to
resources that are protected by the SSL/TLS protocols.
To control access to the DeviceMaster's SSL/TLS protected resources you should
create your own custom CA certificate and then configure authorized client
applications with identity certificates signed by the custom CA certificate.
