page 322.
12.3.2 Managing certificates
The Certificates menu option enables you to create and manage SSL certificates. In the
case of HTTPS communication a server identifies itself to its client with an SSL certificate.
An SSL certificate is only ever issued for a server, an organization and a particular period.
This information is contained in the certificate and can be viewed in a certificate viewer (e.g.
browser). The validity of this information is confirmed by a trusted certification authority
(CA) by means of the authority's digital signature.
The Certificates menu option provides the following functions for managing certificates:
● Using the standard certificate
– Displaying the current SSL certificate
– Displaying details of the current SSL certificate
● Creating and enabling a new self-signed SSL certificate
● Requesting an SSL certificate
– Displaying details of the current SSL certificate request
– Downloading the SSL certificate request
● Uploading and activating a customer-specific certificate
● Downloading a CA certificate and installing it in the browser
Detailed information on the option is provided in the SE Manager help.
i Digital certificates are system-specific, i.e. they are managed MU-specifically. In an
SE server configuration with multiple MUs (MU redundancy on an SE server or
Management Cluster with two SE servers) there is a submenu for each MU beneath
Certificates in the tree structure, named <mu-name> (MU).
