Help - Certificates

Help Index

Certificates are used to authenticate users. Certificates are issued to you by various CAs (Certification Authorities). Each CA also issues a certificate to itself. This Certificate is required in order to validate communication with the CA.

This screen lists both the Trusted Certificate - the certificates of each CA itself - and Self Certificates - the certificates issued to you.

Trusted Certificates
Subject Name (CA) The "Subject Name" is always the company or person to whom the Certificate is issued. For trusted certificates, this will be a CA.
Issuer Name The CA (Certification Authority) which issued the Certificate.
Expiry Time The date on which the Certificate expires. You should renew the Certificate before it expires.

Self Certificates
Name The name you assigned to this Certificate. You should select a name which helps to identify this particular certificate.
Subject Name The company or person to whom the Certificate is issued.
Issuer Name The CA (Certification Authority) which issued the Certificate.
Expiry Time The date on which the Certificate expires. You should renew the Certificate before it expires.
