Create SSL Certificate

To access this dialog box: Click RESOURCES > Keys and Certs > Create > SSL Client Cert.

SSL Certificates that you create in MOVEit Automation with this dialog box are self-signed and are not automatically trusted by other sites. Self-signed certificates are suitable for the following purposes:

Testing.
Securing communications between MOVEit Automation and MOVEit Automation Admin.
In some cases, for production use in applications such as AS2.

The use of self-signed certificates is not recommended for securing web servers such as IIS, because they cause trust errors to occur with end users who visit a site configured with a self-signed certificate.

For certificates that are issued by well-known certificating authorities, see Obtaining and Importing SSL Client Certificates.

NOTE: After you click Create Certificate on this dialog box, you cannot make any changes to the properties.
