authority. The root certificate is stored on an authentication
server in the network.
• S/MIME certificates (*.pem file) are used to sign and encrypt the
emails that are sent by the SND Server in the course of the
administration via email and the notification service. The
corresponding private key must be installed as an own
certificate in the PKCS#12 format (as *.p12 file) in the intended
email program (Thunderbird, Outlook, etc.). Only then can the
emails be verified and displayed (in the case of encryption).
The following certificates can be installed at the same time in the
SND Server:
- 1 Self-signed certificate
- 1 CA certificate or PKCS#12 certificate
- 1 Root certificate
- 1 S/MIME certificate
You can also generate a certificate request for a CA certificate. All
certificates can be deleted separately. Existing certificates will be
overridden when installing or generating new certificates.
A PKCS#12 certificate can only be installed if there are currently no
certificate requests or CA certificates installed.
