The Certificates menu option enables you to create and manage SSL certificates. In the case of HTTPS communication a server identifies itself to its client with an SSL certificate. An SSL certificate is only ever issued for a server, an organization and a particular period. This information is contained in the certificate and can be viewed in a certificate viewer (e.g. browser). The validity of this information is confirmed by a trusted certification authority (CA) by means of the authority's digital signature.
The Certificates menu option provides the following functions for managing certificates:
Detailed information on the option is provided in the SE Manager help.
Digital certificates are system-specific, i.e. they are managed MU-specifically. In an SE server configuration with multiple MUs (MU redundancy on an SE server or Management Cluster with two SE servers) there is a submenu for each MU beneath Certificates in the tree structure, named <mu-name> (MU).
