Certificate Management

The Certificate Management feature allows users to configure certificates for:

• HTTPS/SSL - allows secure login without encountering messages about untrusted sites
• LDAP (TLS) - allows the LDAP server's public key to encrypt credentials sent to the LDAP server
• TLS/DTLS over TCP/SCTP Transport - allows transport layer security protocols and encryption on a per connection basis at the application layer. For example, DSR local and peer node connections
• Single Sign-On (SSO) - allows users to navigate among several applications without having to re-enter login credentials
• Certificate Authority (CA) - A digital certificate provided by a trusted source used to make secure connections between a client and server.

When setting up Certificate Management, you must first assign a system domain name for the DNS configuration before importing any certificates. For more information, see DNS Configuration.

After assigning a system domain name, you must configure the LDAP authentication servers used for single sign on. For more information, see LDAP Authentication.
