Certificate

Generate an HTTPS Certificate

The HTTPS certificate ensures the system is using a secure connection to the OT Security appliance and server. The initial certificate ages out after two years. You can generate a new self-signed certificate at any time. The new certificate is valid for one year.

Note: Generating a new certificate overrides the current certificate.

To generate a self-signed certificate:

  1. Go to Local Settings >System Configuration > Certificates.

    The Certificates window appears.

  2. From the Actions menu, select Generate Self-Signed Certificate.

    The Generate Certificate confirmation window appears.

  3. Click Generate.

    OT Security generates the self-signed certificate and you can view the certificate in the Local Settings > System Configuration > Certificate page.
