IMG 1010 - Certificate Entry

Description:

The Certificate Entry or Trust ID, contains the filenames associated with a particular certificate when configuring TLS Security. The certificate entry provides the necessary information so that two parties, or peers, can negotiate a secure TLS session. The certificate entry consists of three files. They are the Private Key, the Public Key Certificate, and the trusted CA list. Once a Certificate Entry is created, it is selectable in a drop down list in the Secure Profile object in ClientView. See Secure Profile. The operator must install these files on the GCEMS server in the /home/excelsw/ftpBuilds directory. The IMG will ftp the files from the GCEMS server when the filenames are configured in this pane.

The files must be present in the directory above otherwise TLS calls will fail.
