Certificate Configuration
When the web server protocol is configured to use HTTPS communications, all web server communication with all browsers is
encrypted and validated based upon the security algorithms and validity checks specified in the SSL certificate that is
currently installed in the card. By default, the card generates its own unique, self-signed SSL certificate when it is first powered
up. However, many installations want to install and use SSL certificate files that were generated by their own Certificate
Authority (CA).
Selections in Certificate provide commands to Upload SSL Certificate PEM Files or Generate Self-Signed SSL Certificate.
Certificate Commands
