Installing server certificates as trusted roots
Server certificate trusted roots are necessary to authenticate the Server to the Client when the Server Certificate is presented during the initial SSL negotiation. Installing the Server Certificate as a Trusted Root results in a unique "hashed" representation of the file with an alpha-numeric file name and a .0 to .9 extension. This file must be copied or installed on each client that is connecting to the Security Server only if the client requires a valid server certificate to connect.
Note
If the client accepts invalid server certificates, the Trusted Root does not need to be installed.
1. Click Certificates → Install to display the Install Certificates On Server window.
2. Select the Trusted Root Certificates radio button.
3. Click Browse and select the Server Certificate file.
4. Click Open.
5. Click Install to create the Trusted Root Certificate File.
6. Add the resulting file to the installation file set for each BlueZone emulation client requiring Server Authentication. When a Server Certificate is presented to a BlueZone emulation client during SSL negotiation, this file is referenced to confirm that the Server Certificate is valid.
