Configure SSL: Create Certificate

Top  Previous  Next

 

The following popup window is displayed when you click the Create Certificate button on the Configure SSL dialog in the Configurator. This window allows you to create a "self-signed certificate" that can be used as a client-side certificate in a secure SSL connection. All the fields must be completed when creating a certificate.

 

Configure SSL Tab Create Certificate

 

If the secure site to which you are connecting requires a client certificate signed by a trusted Certificate Authority (i.e., Verisign) use the "Create Signing Request" button to generate both a .csr and .key file. Send the .csr file to the Certificate Authority which will return it to you as a signed certificate. Use the signed certificate along with the .key file in the Choose Certificate window.
