4.6.2 Generating a Certificate on the Horizon Compact
In order to generate an SSL certificate on the Horizon Compact, the user must be logged in as the Super
User. The SSL certificate is tied to the Horizon Compact's IP address. If the IP address is changed, then
the SSL certificate should be regenerated. Otherwise the browser SSL session will allow access but it
will report that the certificate is invalid. In this situation, it is the browser user's responsibility to verify that
the proper Horizon Compact is being accessed and that the invalid certificate is due to an IP address
change.
