18.1 About Managing Console Certificates

Oracle Key Vault enables you to install a certificate signed by a Certificate Authority (CA) for more secure connections.

You can upload a certificate that was signed by a third-party CA to Oracle Key Vault to prove its identity, encrypt the communication channel, and protect the data that is exchanged throughout the Oracle Key Vault system.

To install a console certificate, you must generate a certificate request, get it signed by a CA, and then upload the signed certificate back to Oracle Key Vault.
