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:

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. To associate the CA verified certificate for use with Orchestrator, click Add.
