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
Note:
When setting
up Certificate Management, you must first assign a system domain name for the
DNS configuration before importing any certificates.
If you allow a certificate to expire, the certificate becomes
invalid, and you are no longer able to run secure transactions on your website.
The Certification Authority (CA) prompts you to renew your SSL certificate
before the expiration date.
