What Is the Certificate?

Registering the certificate in this system allows you to encrypt communications between this system and the computer using SSL.

This system manages multiple certificates, enabling you to use them depending on protocols.

Create a new self-signed certificate, or install the certificate issued from the certificate authority (CA).

The table below shows the methods to use the certificate in this system.

Usage

Description

Using the self-signed certificate

Create a certificate on this system. This method does not require the CA, so you can only enter the information required to create a certificate, and use the certificate. However, the security level is lower than the certificate issued from the CA.

Using the certificate issued from the CA

Create certificate signing request data on this system, and request the trusted CA to issue the certificate of this system. After the examination by the CA, data is returned, so register the data in this system.
