HTTPS Certificate Template
The VXOA software includes a self-signed certificate that secures the communication between the user’s browser and the appliance. You also have the option to install your own custom certificate, acquired from a CA certificate authority.
To use a custom certificate with a specific appliance:
-
Consult with your IT security team to generate a certificate signing request (CSR), and submit it to your organization’s chosen SSL Certificate Authority (CA).
Examples of Certificate Authorities include GoDaddy, Verisign, Comodo, Symantec, Microsoft Entrust, GeoTrust, and so forth.
-
For a list of what is supported, refer to EdgeConnect and Orchestrator Security Algorithms.
-
All certificate and key files must be in PEM format.
-
-
After the Certificate Authority provides a CA-verified certificate:
-
If your IT security team advises the use of an Intermediate CA, use an Intermediate Certificate File. Otherwise, skip this file.
-
Load the Certificate File from the CA.
-
Upload the Private Key File that was generated as part of the CSR.
-
-
To associate the CA verified certificate for use with Orchestrator, click Add.
