Issuing security server certificates

The security server requires a certificate to authenticate itself in communications with one or more host servers. Every security server is issued a certificate during installation. The only time you must issue a new one is if the public certificate file or the private key file is lost or damaged.

The procedure for issuing a security server certificate is the same as the procedure for issuing a user certificate, with these exceptions:

  • For the first step, select File > Issue Security Server Certificate.
  • The Issue Certificate dialog box has Security Server Host Name instead of User Name. The host name that you specify must be one that your network can resolve.
